Navigate the Financial Maze: Transaction Monitoring Solutions for Enhanced Detection (2024)

The global financial system is a complex web of transactions, making it a prime target for money laundering and other financial crimes. The Egmont Group, a network of financial intelligence units (FIUs), estimates that the global value of suspicious activity reports (SARs) filed in 2021 was USD 2 trillion. This highlights the critical role of effective transaction monitoring (TM) solutions in identifying and mitigating suspicious activity, particularly in high-risk regions identified by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) due to weak anti-money laundering (AML) frameworks.

At Consilium Advisory, we offer a comprehensive suite of TM consulting services designed to equip you with the tools and expertise needed to detect suspicious activities within your transaction flows, regardless of their size or complexity.

The Challenge of False Positives

Traditional rule-based TM systems often generate a high number of false positives, overwhelming compliance teams and diverting resources from investigating truly suspicious activity. This is especially problematic in high-risk regions where limited resources demand a more targeted approach.
