KYC, third-party due diligence and transaction monitoring
Module · Ethics, Conduct and Third Parties
Reports are up and closure times are worsening. Third parties are screened once at onboarding and effectively never again.
Prophesee Ethics scores the case at intake, assembles KYC and third-party diligence instead of requesting it, re-screens continuously, and watches the payments going out to the parties it has screened.
Ethics: a day in the life
One working day inside Ethics, from the morning forecast to the evidence that the intervention worked.
Case volume is rising. Closure is getting slower.
Reports are up and closure times are worsening. Third parties are screened once at onboarding and effectively never again. And the prosecutor now asks directly whether compliance has the data and the models to see any of it.

Evidence at intake. Diligence that never stops.
An anonymous report names a person by first name and function. Identifying the right one across HR, procurement and access records is manual and slow.
Severity, substantiation likelihood and cycle-time risk predicted from your own case history, so the cases that matter get the senior investigator first.
A declared directorship and a supplier ultimate owner are held in different systems with no link, so a conflict is only found when someone reports it.
Ownership chains, sanctions and PEP hits, adverse media, financials and litigation pulled into one assessment, then kept current as ownership and designations change.
Payments to third parties are approved on the invoice, not on what is known about the counterparty. A changed owner or a new bank account is not part of the check.
Every outbound payment screened against the vendor graph: a changed beneficial owner, new bank details, or a jurisdiction the contract does not cover.
Severity, routing and resourcing are decided from the intake summary. Anonymous reports, now the majority in Europe, make that judgement harder.
Test what added training, tighter thresholds or a targeted investigation uplift would do to closure time and substantiation before you fund it.

Third-party diligence is a point in time. Ownership changes, new designations and adverse media after onboarding are not picked up.
A declared directorship and a supplier ultimate owner are held in different systems with no link, so a conflict is only found when someone reports it.
Building the investigation file means requesting data from six teams, under privilege and need to know, with a chain of custody that will survive challenge.

A sample of what becomes possible on the decision layer, not a fixed list: each application draws on the same data foundation and audit trail, and new ones are configured on the engines, not built from scratch.
Severity and substantiation likelihood scored before anyone reads the case.
Predicts which cases will miss their deadline while there is still time to act.
Flags reporters whose treatment after a report starts to look like retaliation.

Ownership change, a new designation or fresh media reopens the file itself.

Today: Diligence requested, then waited on for three weeks.

Today: Onboarding diligence is a point in time and never repeats.
