UPDATE V8.19

What's new

InScope-AML version 8.19 will start being rolled out to our cloud environments in October 2025. On-premise environments will receive these updates shortly after and may be updated along with previous versions.

Disabling ongoing searches for inactive entities

Existing InScope-AML clients who currently have Searches V2 enabled on their system, can now opt to disable the ongoing screening of terminated or rejected clients and their related parties.

New InScope-AML clients will have ongoing screening of terminated or rejected clients and their related parties disabled by default.

InScope-AML clients, who opt to disable ongoing screening for inactive entities will be able to re-enable ongoing screening anytime on such clients and their related parties, manually through the new functionality.

Ongoing Searches – Monitor management

InScope-AML users can now see a coloured indicator next to each screening provider that is being used on their database.

There are three possible indicators:

  • Green: monitoring is ongoing and active
  • Red: monitoring is paused
  • Black: monitoring is disabled

Version8.19-1
A new status section has been introduced on the same searches screen indicating the setting you may determine on an entity per entity basis. Every third party screening service provider used in screening, can now be set with either of two options:

  • Auto, or
  • Always on

Monitor screening status
By default, the Auto option is always selected. If the entity is active (a serviced client or a related party connected to one), the auto setting automatically enables the ongoing monitoring for such entities with a screening provider and is indicated by a green indicator next to the screening provider. On the other hand, if the entity is or becomes inactive (a terminated / rejected client, a related party connected solely to terminated / rejected clients, or a non-serviced entity not connected to any current or past client), the auto setting automatically pauses the ongoing monitoring for such entities and is indicated by a red indicator next to the screening provider.

If screening needs to remain ongoing, even if the customer is terminated / rejected, or if a related party is solely connected to terminated / rejected customers, or if a non-serviced entity is not connected to any current or past client, the option of Always On allows screening to remain ongoing until a system user changes the setting back to Auto.

An entity which has been inactive for a while (i.e. paused monitoring – indicated in red) will eventually have its ongoing monitor disabled (indicated in black). In such case, the monitor will remain disabled indefinitely until a change re-enables the ongoing monitoring. The re-enabling process can happen in either of two scenarios:

Monitoring is manually re-enabled for inactive entities by clicking on Create Monitor by a system user, or

  • Create monitorMonitoring is automatically re-enabled for inactive entities whose setting is set to Auto who ended up being an active entity once again.

New Custom Field Option – Multi-Select

Admin users are now able to create or update existing Choice (Dropdown) custom fields from a single-value select to a multi-select.

This can be easily done by navigating to the custom field setting screen and changing the field titled Can have multiple values from No to Yes.

This would then allow system users to input one or more values for the same custom field as shown below.

PDF Customer Profile Report; Internal Report vs Client Report

The existing PDF Customer Profile Reporting functionality now allows the export of two versions of the same report:

  • Internal Report
  • Client Report

The contents of these reports differ as follows:

For custom fields and related country fields, admin users are able to define which would feature in the client version and which ones don’t.

This is defined for each custom field or related country field by navigating to the respective settings screens, and toggling on/off the field Shows in the External Client Report as preferred.

Minor Changes

  1. Two new company legal form options were added: Limited Partnerships (with shares) and Limited Partnerships (no shares). The difference between the two is that the former would require shares distribution to be specified whilst the other would not.
  2. The View Countries permission now allows users with this permission to access and view the External Country Lists screen on InScope-AML.
  3. Service start dates (onboarding dates) can now be set to a future date.

Bug Fixes

  • InScope-AML clients with Searches V2 were presented with warnings related to open search results after hits were discarded, with no pending search hits to action. This is now being handled appropriately, and no warnings are being generated.
