In today's interconnected world, ensuring the security and compliance of business operations is more crucial than ever. Identity Fraud, High-profile legal infractions, and Financial crimes worldwide necessitate robust screening tools to mitigate risks. The Global Watchlist Report by Authenticate® serves this essential function by comprehensively screening individuals against international sanctions and watchlists, thus improving your defense against bad actors, identity fraud & theft and helping you adhere to organizational safety and compliance.

The Imperative for Global Watchlist Reports

The global financial landscape is riddled with complexities, including identity fraud, money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illicit activities. For instance, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimates that up to 5% of global GDP is laundered annually, which translates to $2 trillion. In response, regulatory bodies worldwide have intensified their watchlist protocols, making it imperative for companies to perform due diligence to avoid heavy fines and legal repercussions.

Furthermore, a 2023 report by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) states that over 50 countries have committed to enhancing their watchlist systems to combat these global threats effectively. This scenario directly emphasizes the need for companies to integrate reliable global watchlist screening tools into their compliance strategies.
