Solution · Monitoring & financial crime
Onboarding is day one.Monitoring is every day after.
Keep the file current after onboarding, and evidence that you did. Ongoing screening, adverse-media alerting, third-party risk ratings and case management — the ongoing half of every AML and counterparty framework.
Who needs ongoing monitoring?
- Regulated financial institutions whose supervisors expect ongoing due diligence, not a one-time onboarding check.
- Compliance teams drowning in false positives who need tuned screening and a defensible alert-handling process.
- Companies with large supplier or counterparty networks that need third-party and supply-chain risk visibility.
- DNFBPs building the record-keeping and review evidence a goAML inspection will ask for.
- Groups that want one case-management trail across onboarding, monitoring and escalation.
What we deliver
Service details, delivered from Dubai.
Ongoing sanctions & PEP screening
Your customer and counterparty base is re-screened automatically as sanctions and PEP lists change — with delta alerting on new hits only.
Adverse media & litigation alerting
Negative news, litigation and regulatory events on your counterparties surface as alerts, triaged by relevance so real risk is not lost in noise.
Transaction monitoring
AI-tuned typologies and threshold rules watch activity for financial crime patterns, with alerting structured for investigation and goAML reporting.
Third-party & cyber risk ratings
RiskRecon by Mastercard ratings add the cyber and vendor dimension to your third-party monitoring — continuously, not once a year.
Case management & escalation
Alerts become cases with reviewer notes, decisions and escalation paths in one unified view — cutting investigation time and nothing falls through.
Audit trails & supervisory evidence
Every screen, alert, decision and report is timestamped and retained — the audit trail your supervisor, auditor or bank correspondent expects.
FAQs
Common questions.
How often is our customer base re-screened?
Continuously. Screening runs against list updates as they are published, so a new sanctions designation on an existing customer alerts within hours — not at the next periodic review.
How do you keep false positives manageable?
Matching is tuned to your risk appetite and customer base, with AI-assisted scoring and delta alerting on changes only. Clients typically cut false positives by around 70% after tuning.
Does monitoring support goAML reporting?
Yes. Alerts and cases are structured so suspicious activity can be prepared and evidenced for goAML filing, with the full decision trail retained.
Can you monitor suppliers and third parties as well as customers?
Yes. The same screening, adverse-media and cyber-rating capability covers vendors, agents and supply-chain counterparties — including continuous RiskRecon cyber ratings.
We have screening already — can you take over case management?
Yes. We can operate alert triage and case management as a managed service on your existing tooling, or consolidate everything into ComplianceSuite.
What evidence do we have for an inspection?
A complete, timestamped trail: who was screened, against which lists, what alerted, who reviewed it, what was decided and why — exportable for your supervisor or auditor.
ICG MECOS operates ongoing monitoring programmes for businesses across the UAE and GCC — screening schedules, alert triage, case management and supervisory-ready evidence from our Dubai team.
