Screening workflows Certivus supports
Client screening
Run screening checks as part of onboarding, refresh, or review workflows.
Match review
Review potential matches, add context, and document why a decision was made.
Evidence export
Keep screening outcomes and notes in the client file for internal or regulator-facing review.
Why screening needs workflow, not just a result
Review context matters
A screening hit still needs human review, context, and a documented decision.
Evidence must be findable
Teams need to see what was checked, when it happened, and what action was taken.
Screening links to risk
PEP or sanctions outcomes should inform risk scoring, escalation, and ongoing monitoring decisions.
Common questions
Does Certivus automatically decide whether to accept a client?
No. Certivus supports screening, evidence, and workflow records. The practice remains responsible for reviewing results, making risk decisions, and following its policies.
When should firms run PEP and sanctions checks?
Practices commonly run checks during onboarding, periodic review, risk events, or when existing client circumstances change. The exact process should follow the firm's AML policy and regulator guidance.
What makes screening evidence useful during review?
Useful evidence normally shows what was checked, when it was checked, who reviewed it, what potential match was found, what decision was made, and what notes supported that decision.
