Lists change. You know by morning.
- Automatic, for every customer
- Customers are added to monitoring when they’re onboarded. Nobody has to remember to re-run a check.
- Daily by default
- Weekly or monthly schedules are available where your risk assessment supports them.
- New matches open a case
- With a risk level and an owner, and the team is notified. The case stays open until someone records a decision and a reason.
- Every run is on the record
- Each re-screen is logged with the version of each list it used, so you can show continuous monitoring, not just a check at onboarding.
- PEP reviews on a schedule
- PEP relationships get scheduled reviews, and former PEPs stay flagged for 12 months after leaving office (reg 35(9)).
- Stale lists are flagged
- The app shows when each list was last refreshed and warns you if one goes stale.
In practice
Every morning, every customer. Most days, nothing to do.

Choose how often. Daily unless you decide otherwise.
| Frequency | Setting | When it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | Default for every customer | Catches a new designation the morning after it’s published. |
| Weekly | Optional | For lower-risk relationships, where your risk assessment supports it. |
| Monthly | Optional | For the lowest-risk relationships, where your risk assessment supports it. |
It requires firms to conduct ongoing monitoring of a business relationship, including scrutinising transactions and keeping customer due diligence information up to date. Re-screening against current sanctions and PEP data is one part of that.
A case opens with a risk level and an owner, and the team is notified. Your analyst compares the customer and the list entry side by side and closes the case as a confirmed match or a false positive, recording the reason.
No. Adverse media is a guided search that a person runs and records, not automated monitoring. HMRC’s deliberate tax defaulters list is screened automatically with the sanctions lists.
