The Compliance Officer of the parent organisation can set up multiple suborganisations for different departments or for specific scan criteria and sanction lists based on your organisation's anti-money laundering and risk compliance obligations. The suborganisation structure can be flat and wide, or deep and nested, depending on your preference.

Example of an organisation hierarchy within the system with a flat suborganisation setup:

Example of an organisation hierarchy with nested suborganisation setup:

Each suborganisation can have its own Compliance Officer (CO) responsible for managing the suborganisation's profile, scan settings, and associated users. These Compliance Officers have access to and can manage the details of any suborganisation within their purview. The table below illustrates an example of access to suborganisations should different Compliance Officers be designated for the organisation hierarchy mentioned above.

To create a suborganisation and associate a user to the new suborganisation, you must first create the suborganisation. Once created, you can create the user account, or select an existing user, and assign the user to the new suborganisation.

announcement Important Information:

  • Each organisation or suborganisation can only be allocated up to 3 Compliance Officers.
  • You can assign different Compliance Officers to different suborganisations.
  • Compliance Officers can view and manage details of any suborganisation within their purview.
  • A suborganisation cannot be transferred or moved once created.
  • A suborganisation can be deleted, but only if there are no scan history or user accounts associated with the suborganisation.
  • A user account must be assigned to an existing organisation.

You can manage organisation and users within the Administration section of the site.

Create a Suborganisation

Within Administration > Organisations, select the parent organisation from the list to create the new suborganisation. This can be the root parent organisation or another suborganisation to create a nested suborganisation structure.

In the example, we create a new suborganisation, assign existing users, and adjust the scope of the watchlists.

To create a new user account to assign to the suborganisation, refer out Getting Started > Set Up Users.
