AML and Practice Management in One Platform
Last updated:
AML software buyer checklist
- Separate practice workflow from specialist identity and screening capability.
- Compare total annual cost, not a headline per-check price alone.
- Test how evidence, risk rationale, approvals and review dates are retrieved.
- Confirm permissions, exports, support and contract terms directly with the provider.
Six-stage workflow
A practical AML process your team can follow
- Stage 1
Start with scope and ownership
Confirm which clients and services are affected by aml and practice management in one platform, then appoint a named owner with authority to obtain information and escalate concerns.
- Stage 2
Gather reliable evidence
Collect the identity, ownership, purpose, source-of-funds and relationship information required by the risk. Use Remindoo's built-in digital ID verification and screening where electronic checks are needed.
- Stage 3
Assess risk and explain the rationale
Consider client, service, delivery-channel and geographic factors together. Record why the final rating is proportionate instead of relying on a score alone.
- Stage 4
Apply proportionate controls
Complete standard, simplified or enhanced work only where the law and the recorded risk support it. Obtain approval where the firm’s procedure requires it.
- Stage 5
Keep one dated record
Store the evidence, judgement, approval, communications and next action together so another authorised person can understand the file.
- Stage 6
Monitor and re-assess
Set a risk-based review date and trigger an earlier review when ownership, activity, geography, instructions or other relevant circumstances change.
Worked risk examples
| Level | Scenario | Proportionate response |
|---|---|---|
| Lower risk example | A familiar UK trading company with straightforward ownership and activity consistent with the information supplied. | Apply documented, proportionate CDD and ongoing monitoring. Lower risk is not no risk, and the rationale still needs recording. |
| Medium risk example | A remote client with a less familiar business model or cross-border element that is credible but needs additional explanation. | Obtain enough corroborating evidence, resolve inconsistencies and set a more attentive review cycle. |
| Higher risk example | A complex or unusually large transaction, opaque ownership, unexplained source of funds or another factor identified by law or guidance. | Escalate, apply EDD where required, obtain appropriate approval and consider reporting duties without alerting the client. |
Common monitoring findings
- A generic risk assessment that does not match the firm or client
- Missing evidence for identity, ownership, source of funds or the decision reached
- Reviews completed late, with no trigger-based re-assessment after material change
- Policies that describe controls the client files do not evidence
- Staff unable to explain the internal escalation and SAR process
