Compliance Monitoring

An agent that monitors transactions and communications for compliance risk, prioritising cases for the surveillance team.

32 HAL Score / 40 Governed

Workflow

  1. 1 Agent ingests transactions and communications
  2. 2 Agent scores cases against risk indicators
  3. 3 Agent prioritises and explains each alert
  4. 4 Surveillance analyst investigates
  5. 5 Outcomes feed back to tune the model

Governance design

  • No authority to clear or close alerts. Prioritisation only.
  • Every score is explainable with contributing factors.
  • Immutable record of all alerts, including those dismissed.
  • Monitoring watches for alert-fatigue and suppression patterns.

Escalation paths

  • High-severity pattern → senior surveillance, same day.
  • Model confidence collapse → owner alerted to investigate drift.
  • Repeated near-misses on a counterparty → escalated review.

Ownership model

Head of Surveillance, with the model owner as deputy.

Lessons learned

  • Keeping "close the alert" as a human-only action protected the integrity of the audit trail.
  • Logging dismissed alerts was essential. The regulator asked about the ones that were not actioned.
