Does easyAML use Dow Jones for PEP/Sanctions screening?
Yes, Dow Jones Watchlist and Adverse Media powers PEP, Sanctions and Adverse-media screening.
Dow Jones provides the Watchlist & Adverse Media screening. Dow Jones is one of the leading global PEP/sanctions providers (along with Refinitiv / LSEG) and is widely used by Australian and international financial institutions.
What Dow Jones coverage includes:
- PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) - current and former senior political figures, judicial figures, military leaders, executives of state-owned enterprises, and their close family and associates.
- Sanctions - consolidated sanctions lists from DFAT, OFAC, UN, EU and other major regulators.
- Adverse Media - structured screening against global news sources for risk-relevant coverage.
Ongoing Screening & Monitoring utilises the same process - re-screening runs automatically on daily basis. Alerts surface in the CO's dashboard when a customer's screening profile changes (e.g. new PEP designation, new sanctions match).
