Annual Assurance Testing

An annual subscription testing solution for small to medium firms who need ongoing, independent assurance that their sanction screening system is fit for purpose.

The benefits of Annual Assurance Testing

Annual Assurance Testing is needed by both traditional and non-traditional financial institutions to:

  • Understand if your sanction screening system is performing with optimum effectiveness and efficiency in line with regulatory expectation
  • Help you respond to increasing scrutiny from regulators as to the integrity of a sanction screening system
  • Minimise an entity’s exposure to AML/CFT risk
  • Provide an evidence-based reporting system that is trusted by in excess of 50 regulators around the globe

AAT is in line with minimum regulatory expectations for the testing of a sanction screening system on an annual basis.

Our testing methodology ensures total data security and requires neither the installation of any software nor any IT integration with a customer’s systems so that that there will never be any data protection issues.

AML Analytics is an independent provider of sanction screening system testing technologies with no affinity to any supplier of automated systems.

Sandbox Test Builder

A flexible testing solution

Annual Assurance Testing (AAT) is a new, versatile solution from AML Analytics that provides a flexible approach to testing a sanction screening system, facilitating the creation of a bespoke test on a recurring annual basis.

Frequent Annual Assurance Testing enables ongoing independent validation of a sanction screening system to ensure it is fit for purpose, facilitating frequent reporting to regulatory authorities.

In line with regulatory expectation

AAT is tailored to each customer’s specific requirements according to their jurisdiction and risk appetite, and in terms of sanction list selection and test record type.

Whilst AAT is typically carried out each year, customers who require more frequent testing can add in extra tests. This can be repeated until the desired number of tests is reached

Testing will ensure that the effectiveness and the efficiency of a screening system is understood using a test containing control records and manipulated records.

Manipulated records will have differing algorithms applied to test the fuzzy logic matching capabilities of your sanction screening system and a risk adjusted score to amend the result of risk decisions already made can be included.
