Day 3: Alert

#QuickBiteCompliance Day 3

Today we delve into understanding the concept of an Alert in compliance. An Alert is essentially a review triggered by red flags that demand analyst attention. In the realm of know-your-customer procedures, alerts pinpoint potential discrepancies flagged either manually or through automated systems, based on predefined red flags and typologies. In the context of sanctions screening, an alert signifies a hit, or multiple hits, of an internal record cross-checked against sanctions screening lists. If not easily resolved as false positives, alerts typically lead to further investigations.
