Basic Settings of a Compliance Screening Profile

The settings defined in your compliance profile determine the result of your checks. Details of the basic options, and their effects, are shown below.

Note: The I_COMPLIANCEADMIN role is a prerequisite for viewing and editing profiles.

To edit a profile, go to Administration > Compliance > Profiles. 

In principle, you can create an unlimited number of profiles, however, only one can be set as the default profile. This is used initially for manual address checks and file checks.

Open a profile by double-clicking it, or selecting it, and using the Open button.

The settings are shown on 2 tabs, Compliance Screening and Screening lists.

• The Similarity threshold determines the level of similarity between your checked address and a banned address that results in an address match. The higher the threshold value is set, the fewer address matches you will receive. AEB recommends using the default value of 80.
  
  
• By activating the Acronym check, abbreviations are taken into account during the check. For example, if you check the name ‘ABS’, you will also receive the hit ‘Andrey Borisovich SHEIN’, which is included in the CFSP list. If the acronym check is activated, after a longer period of time this can lead to an increase in good guy alarms.
  
  
• In the Address type settings, you determine whether the address types must match, and which address types you want to check against.
  
  
• If you activate the Type must match option, you will only receive matches if the address type of your checked address matches the address type of the restricted party list entry.
  If you tick this box, make sure that you transfer the correct address type in your check data. The type setting does not work if you transfer the address type ‘unknown’.
  For example, if you only check Persons or Entities, you can exclude means of transport from the check. In this case, remove the tick in the Means of transport option. You will then not receive any matches of the means of transport address type.
  
  
• In the File check section, you can define the default format settings for the file check, if required. You can also enter an email recipient who will receive a notification when a file check is performed. Further information on file checking can be found in the User Guide.

Define Restricted Party Lists for Checking

Select the Screening lists tab, and use Add or Remove to determine which restricted party lists are included when performing checks with this profile.

The restricted party lists that are being checked against are displayed via the Check Settings link when performing an address check or a file check, and are also displayed after the check is done, in the logs.

The lists selected under Good Guy lists are taken into account in the address check. The good guy lists are maintained (including whether the check is active and which check profile is used) under Compliance Screening > Good Guy lists. 

Note: Use the F1 key, while on the screen, to find out more details about the individual check settings.
