Why screening matters for business intelligence and risk advisory
Beyond regulatory supervision
While Business Intelligence and Risk Advisory companies are typically not subjected to supervision by bodies monitoring money laundering regulations, these companies are key when it comes to decision making processes of their clients. An informed decision has to be based on AML and CFT considerations.
How firms handle AML compliance
Business Intelligence and Risk Advisory companies handle Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance in a number of ways. These include:
- Conducting risk assessments: Assess clients and operations to identify and evaluate the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing.
- Implementing customer due diligence: Conduct proper customer due diligence to identify clients and understand the nature of business relationships.
- Implementing transaction monitoring: Utilise transaction monitoring systems to detect and report suspicious transactions that may indicate money laundering or terrorist financing.
- Filing Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs): When suspicious transactions are identified, companies must report them to the relevant authorities as required by AML regulations.
- Maintaining records: Maintain records of their AML compliance processes, including customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, and SARs.
- Providing AML training: Provide AML training to employees to ensure they understand the importance of AML compliance and their obligations.

Frequently asked questions
Usually not. Business intelligence and risk advisory firms are typically not supervised by the bodies that monitor money laundering regulations. Their work still shapes client decisions that must factor in AML and CFT considerations, so many firms run sanction and PEP screening voluntarily, holding themselves to a higher professional standard even without a legal obligation to conduct these checks.
dilisense offers several routes that fit different investigation workflows. Business intelligence and risk advisory firms can call a REST screening API that returns JSON for automated sanctions, PEP, criminal and regulatory checks, download the full AML database for unlimited on-premise screening where subject names never leave their own infrastructure, or screen large record sets through an Excel-based batch tool with no IT integration required.
Coverage spans international and domestic sanction lists, politically exposed persons, criminal and regulatory watchlists, all drawn from public sources and updated every 60 minutes. For business intelligence and risk advisory work, an adverse media API adds AI-categorized, FATF-aligned news intelligence with real-time updates, so investigators can document both list-based and news-based exposure of a subject from a single provider.
Costs scale with usage. One-off name checks are free through dilisense's web search, unlimited and without registration. The screening API is pay per use with no monthly fee and includes free calls each month, so business intelligence and risk advisory firms with occasional casework pay only for what they screen. Steady volumes can move to Excel batch screening or a monthly-priced downloadable database for unlimited on-premise checks.
