Ongoing Monitoring

Ongoing monitoring is integrated into the existing individual and corporate scan processes for a convenient way to access and manage monitoring of individuals and corporate entities, review outcome of monitoring scans and perform risk assessment for due diligence.

Monitoring Results are separated for Individuals and Corporates and can be accessed via Scan Results and Monitoring Results.

Detected changes in profiles which match monitored individuals or corporate entities will indicate the type of change (new matched profile, updated profile details of matches, or removed matches). These notifications are independent of any due diligence decisions performed unless the whitelist policy setting has been applied for the monitoring setting.

Notifications of detected changes can be configured to be emailed or notified via API. These monitoring settings are described in greater detail at Manage Organisations

Viewing Changes for Individuals and Corporates

Monitoring Scan Results for specific entities

To view results of the automated monitoring scans for individuals, use Individual Scan > Scan Results or for companies, use Corporate Scan > Scan Results. You can filter and view the monitoring changes from a high level or filter to view changes for a specific individual.

  

Monitoring Scan Activities

There are two types of ongoing monitoring scan activities performed by the system automatically:

  • Monitoring Scans - detects changes in monitored entities against the frequently updated watchlists on a regular basis and displays the differences in the watchlist profile from when the ongoing process schedule is last run.
  • Monitoring Rescans - runs a scan of the monitored entities against the entire watchlist database and returns matches found. This process does not detect and highlight changes in the profiles returned. This process runs on the anniversary of the subscription renewal date for all active entities in the Monitoring List.

Monitoring Status of Matches

You can filter the monitoring statuses to assist with your prioritisation and escalation of due diligence and risk assessment.

StatusIconDescription
New Matchesfiber_manual_recordAutomatic monitoring scans where a new match was found for the individual or company ("entity"). This may be due to new profiles being added to the watchlists, or updated watchlist profile information which now matches with the monitored entity.
Updated Matchesfiber_manual_recordAutomatic monitoring scans where the profile of an existing match for the entity has been updated, or updated profile in the watchlist now matches the monitored entity.
Removed Matchesfiber_manual_recordAutomatic monitoring scans where an existing match no longer applies to the entity due to removal of the profile from the watchlists.
No ChangesAutomatic monitoring scans where no changes were found for the monitored entity.

Monitoring Results

For an overview of the monitoring scan activities, which can be run Daily, Weekly, Fortnightly, Quarterly or Semi Annually, use Individual Scan > Monitoring Results or Corporate Scan > Monitoring Results for individuals and companies respectively. This provides an overview of the number of entities being monitored and the results. You can drill down to view detailed changes for a monitored individual or corporate similar to Scan Results.

  

By default, only monitoring scans which contain changes in matched results are displayed in the list (Monitoring with updates). To view a full list of all monitoring activities, select the option All monitoring scans.

The Compliance Officer can turn on ongoing monitoring results view to see the optional Review Status information via Administration > Organisation > Monitoring Settings.

The Added By and Scanned By columns show who is responsible for each entity, so that your team knows who to follow up with. A coloured dot before each row shows the type of change found: fiber_manual_record new, fiber_manual_record updated or fiber_manual_record removed matches.

The columns show the values at the time of each monitoring scan.

Blank Added By or Scanned By values

The Added By and Scanned By columns were added in release 10.6.1. For monitored entities and monitoring scans from before this release, MemberCheck finds these users from the original single or batch scan that added the entity to the Monitoring List. A value is blank when MemberCheck cannot find this scan or its user. For example:

  • The original scan was deleted in Data Management.
  • The entity is no longer in the Monitoring List.

The User filter returns only the entities whose Added By or Scanned By user is the user that you select. An entity with blank values does not show when you filter by a user. To see all the entities of the monitoring scan, select All in the User filter.

To show only the entities of one user, select the user in the User filter. The filter returns the entities that the user added or last scanned. The downloaded report of the monitoring scan also includes the Added By and Scanned By columns.

To track the progress of assessments of changed profiles, you can toggle the Review Completed switch to indicate you have completed the review of all profiles that have been changed in the monitoring check.

Toggle the Review Completed switch after you have reviewed all profile changes from the monitoring check to help track progress of review.

Monitoring Rescan

In addition to continuous monitoring of entities against the daily updated watchlist, an annual rescan is performed for all active monitored entities in the Monitoring List on the date of Subscription Renewal. This is an automated process to proactively ensure compliance with regulations, mitigate financial and reputational risk and reduce the likelihood of inadvertent engagement with sanctioned parties.

The rescan process checks against the entire watchlist database and may disregard any whitelisting and due diligence decisions depending on the whitelist policy in the organisation monitoring setting. This process reports on whether the entity has a Match or No Match, and does not report on changes to the profile e.g. new, updated or removed matches.

The outcome of the rescan can be viewed via the following screens:

  • Scan Results - Select Monitoring Rescans in the scan type filter
  • Monitoring Results - this activity will be displayed in the list as "Rescanned". Click on the row to view detailed results of the rescan:
