Below the report header is the Overview - this is where you can see a quick summary of the key risks and basic details associated with your subject.
Every piece of information in the report is linked to a source, enabling you to explore all underlying data.
Risk Flags
Potential risks are categorised into two sections as follows, dependent on where information has been gathered:
Screening results
Sanctions
Watchlists
PEPs
Web and media risk
Financial Crime
ESG
Legal Proceedings
Other Controversy
When a risk has been identified, the related icon is highlighted red. Hovering over the icon and selecting ‘See details’ will provide more information on why this specific risk has been identified.
For example, a report on the fictional character Tony Stark identifies a risk in the category ‘Other controversy’, shown by the icon appearing red.
Risk icons requiring review
When there is insufficient information to confirm or discard any sources within a risk category, the icon will not be flagged but display ‘for review’ in red text.
Even when there are confirmed sources, the ‘for review’ text will display if there are unconfirmed sources that require confirmation.
When all sources have been confirmed or denied, the text will display ‘Identified’ or ‘Not Identified’ beneath the icon.
Why has my content not been flagged as a risk?
There are a variety of possible explanations for the absence of specific media you were expecting to be flagged:
Media covering the controversy was published after the report was generated. Report generation collects and analyses information available at that specific point in time. In these cases, we suggest re-running a report on your subject to collect the most up-to-date details.
Data for Watchlists and PEPs is sourced from Comply Advantage - it is possible that your definition for individuals or organisations within these categories, particularly PEPs, does not match that of Comply Advantage.
More information on how Comply Advantage defines and classifies a PEP can be found here.
The specific piece of media was not analysed. While unlikely, as the context used to generate the report influences what media is collected and analysed, using context which doesn’t have a large media presence or is very generalised can result in a report where a piece of media hasn’t been analysed or flagged.
Similarly, if the report has identified the wrong individual, the media you expected to be flagged could be present but has been discarded. In this case check through both the confirmed and discarded web and media sections to confirm/discard the relevant articles and regenerate the report.
If you are still experiencing issues with missing information, please reach out to customer support who will be able to investigate.
Search Subject Summary
Below the risk flags there is a summary of the search subject. You can click on any area to find out the source of the information (including the photo or logo of the subject).
The details included in this section differ between a person report and an organisation report.
Where a data field, such as ‘First name’ (as shown in the image above), has multiple values you can filter the sources for a specific value using the pills at the top of the box.
In the image above the ‘Tony’ pill has been selected, turning it teal, and filtering the sources to show only those that provide information confirming the name ‘Tony’.
You can view the full source by clicking on it and then selecting ‘Confirm’ on the window pop-up.
If you don’t want to have this extra confirmation step, simply select the ‘Don’t ask me again’ box. Clicking on subsequent sources will then immediately open them.
