Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a sanctions screening workflow in practice?
It is the operational sequence for running checks, reviewing matches, documenting decisions, and escalating unresolved risk in a repeatable way.
Should one workflow cover both onboarding and transactions?
Yes. The same framework should apply with stage-specific triggers so controls stay consistent while context changes.
Which metrics prove the workflow is healthy?
Track completion rate, review SLA adherence, unresolved match backlog, and false-positive trend by risk tier.
How often should the workflow template be reviewed?
Review at least quarterly, and immediately after major regulatory, jurisdiction, or operating-model changes.
