CLEVELAND, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AML RightSource ("AMLRS"), the leading provider of Anti-Money Laundering ("AML"), Know Your Customer ("KYC"), and Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA") compliance solutions, has added a new capability to its QuantaVerse Financial Crime Platform. The new Risk Segment Override (RSO) capability allows an investigator to override QuantaVerse's risk segmentation if they deemed it warranted after reviewing a case. The overrides will persist until the QuantaVerse Platform alters the entity's risk profile based on new information which is immediately presented for review.

Key Points:

  • If a compliance team determines that this connection is not a valid risk, the Risk Segment Override capability ensures that this issue will no longer inflate an entity's risk score thus keeping the AML compliance team from wasting precious time continuously reevaluating cases triggered by this non-issue.
  • However, the QuantaVerse Platform will reverse a risk override due to any negative change of financial crime observables.
