Compliance Screening

Standard sanctions screening is the floor, not the ceiling, of an effective AML program. High-risk customers — politically exposed persons, high-net-worth individuals in opaque jurisdictions, complex corporate structures — require enhanced due diligence that goes beyond a list check to include PEP status assessment, adverse media coverage, and beneficial ownership investigation.

Compliance Screening combines these layers in a single investigation workflow. The due_diligence skill runs PEP checks alongside sanctions screening, while the investigate skill surfaces adverse media and related entity connections that reveal risk the lists alone would miss.

Compliance officers at financial institutions, professional service firms conducting client onboarding, and corporate teams assessing M&A counterparties use this to conduct thorough EDD without spending hours on manual research across multiple sources.

How to conduct enhanced due diligence with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw

Claude conducts a multi-layer due diligence investigation and synthesises the findings into a coherent risk assessment. It runs PEP checks, surfaces adverse media, investigates related entities, and identifies inconsistencies between stated business purpose and discovered information — working as an analyst rather than just a data retrieval tool.

Conduct enhanced due diligence on [full name], a senior government official from Nigeria seeking to open a business account. Check PEP status, sanctions, adverse media coverage, and any connected entities. Produce a risk assessment with a recommended risk rating.

Tips for Claude

  • Provide the subject's role and jurisdiction explicitly — PEP status depends on political position and country
  • Ask Claude to rate the adverse media findings by severity rather than just listing them
  • Ask for a recommended risk rating and the evidence supporting it — it makes the due diligence output defensible
