What are the benefits of Clento for the person with duty to report?

Pre-built operating model for collecting and analyzing cognitive data

Risk identification

Saving time and resources

Allocation of resources required by a risk-based approach

Monitoring the quality and timeliness of knowledge

Collecting and analyzing customer knowledge significantly increases the workload of the person required to report. With the right ways of working, it is possible to streamline the time spent on the familiarity process so that getting to know the customer is integrated into the company’s day-to-day operations. It is therefore up to each person with the duty to report to consider the methods by which customer identification and data maintenance can be carried out without creating an unnecessary cost element. A good operating model benefits both the data collector and his or her customer.

Clento helps the person with duty to report identify the customer by creating a consistent and effortless operating model for the organization that takes into account a risk-based approach. The purpose of the risk-based approach is to avoid unnecessarily burdensome procedures when the risk is low and, on the other hand, to ensure that the procedures are adequate when the risk is high. When customer knowledge methods and classification models are clear and pre-thought out, mistakes and unnecessary work are avoided. A comprehensive system provides assurance that customer knowledge has been handled properly and that information is not scattered across the company’s various systems.

To whom?

The Act on Detecting and Preventing Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (444/2017) defines exactly who has the duty to report.

Persons with the duty to report include:

Banks and financial institutions

Auditors

Lawyers

Recovery officers

Insurance companies

Accountants

Clento’s architecture is constructed so that different risks can be considered with different approaches. If the risk in the industry is small, then lighter methods are used. When access to information and the need for monitoring is greater, then Clento allows for more accurate monitoring. Flexible architecture is important because legislation and government regulations are in a state of constant change.
Knowing the customer is also important for companies doing international business.
