Run enhanced due diligence checks combining PEP screening, adverse media, and ownership investigation for high-risk relationships.
Quick answer: Use the Compliance Screening tool through ToolRouter to conduct enhanced due diligence directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw — connect once, then drive it with plain-language prompts. No code required.
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.
Provide the subject name, entity type, jurisdiction, and relationship context
Ask Claude: "Conduct enhanced due diligence on this individual including PEP check and adverse media"
Claude runs sanctions, PEP, and adverse media checks and summarises findings
Ask: "Identify any related entities or individuals that should be screened"
Example prompt for Claude
Try this with Claude using the Compliance Screening 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
ChatGPT conducts multi-layer due diligence and presents a clear risk assessment with business-relevant conclusions. It explains PEP risk in plain language, summarises adverse media findings by severity, and provides a structured recommendation on whether to proceed with the relationship and under what conditions.
Ask: "Conduct enhanced due diligence including PEP check and adverse media search"
ChatGPT returns a structured due diligence report with risk assessment
Ask: "What is your overall risk rating for this relationship and why?"
Example prompt for ChatGPT
Try this with ChatGPT using the Compliance Screening tool
I need to conduct enhanced due diligence on a new client. [Name], CEO of [company] in [jurisdiction]. Run PEP screening, adverse media, and sanctions checks. Give me a clear risk assessment with a recommended decision on whether to onboard.
Tips for ChatGPT
Ask for a structured output with separate sections for each due diligence layer — PEP, sanctions, adverse media
Request a recommended decision alongside the findings — high/medium/low risk with specific conditions for proceeding
ChatGPT can draft the due diligence file note from the investigation findings if you ask

Tips for Copilot
Include a risk rating field with a defined scale (low/medium/high) to enable programmatic routing in your case management system
Ask for adverse media findings with a severity classification field so cases can be prioritised automatically
Build a due diligence case template that captures all EDD fields in a consistent schema for every investigation
OpenClaw automates enhanced due diligence for high-risk onboarding queues. Process a batch of PEP-risk customers, run consistent EDD across politically sensitive jurisdictions, or re-run due diligence on existing high-risk relationships at scheduled intervals — systematic compliance without individual manual investigation.
Provide the list of high-risk subjects requiring EDD
Ask: "Conduct enhanced due diligence on each subject and produce risk assessments"
OpenClaw runs the full EDD workflow for each subject
Ask: "Produce a summary table ranked by risk level for the compliance review queue"
Example prompt for OpenClaw
Try this with OpenClaw using the Compliance Screening tool
Conduct enhanced due diligence on these 10 new high-risk clients: [list]. For each, check PEP status, sanctions, and adverse media. Return risk ratings and flag anyone rated high-risk for immediate compliance review.
Tips for OpenClaw
Define your PEP risk criteria explicitly at the start — head-of-state level versus broader political exposure requires different treatment
Run periodic EDD refresh on existing high-risk clients — schedule quarterly re-runs at minimum
Use the batch risk rating output to prioritise the compliance review queue by highest-risk cases first
