- The FCSU provides this service to more than 40 countries where is present across all segments such as retail, corporates, private banking and correspondent banking.

Brief on the Job Family :

Process Category Unit Name :

- Process Descriptor Analysts in the FCSU teams execute the standard AAA (Assess, Analyse, Act) process which is used for handling the risk events after they have been created by the Fircosoft system.

- Process Illustrations a) Assess is the first phase of AAA process, focused on establishing which risk events are - False Positive- Screening events using immediately available information, with a view to closing them within the phase.

- Analyse is the second phase of AAA process, which involves more exhaustive analysis being carried out using all readily available information, and potentially RFIs (Request For Information) where necessary, to establish whether the risk event is likely to be considered case-worthy or not. If it is then the case is escalated for appropriate action. Cases can be escalated for further analysis to FCC actors in country/region.

- Act is the third phase of AAA process, during which the FCSU sets out the analysis evidence for its recommendation that the case is given appropriate consideration as True Match for Screening events and consideration is also given as to whether there is a need for associated reporting action. This consideration/reporting action, with additional governance, is conducted by FCC actors (in Region/Country).
