Access the latest data
AML Analytics creates a monthly Global Benchmark™ standardised test file using up-to-the-minute data from the most important global sanction lists. Our testing process is cost-effective and straightforward and we make sure that we have reflected important industry criteria in our tests.
Optimality first with Global Benchmark
To ensure the highest of standards, we now include non-sanction records in our Global Benchmark™ tests. Using records that should be missed by sanction screening systems guarantees they are functioning optimally.
Security matters
If the entire 22,000-strong OFAC-SDN list was tested and a score of 99% was produced, it would still mean that 220 names in their original form may not have been identified and captured by a screening system.
