Item 6

 

Screened names will be entitled to free monitoring for at least 12 months starting from the calendar month immediately following the date of screening.  During this period, if there is any change in the screening results, notifications will be sent to you.

 

Example:  If you screen a name on 1 March 2017 and another one on 31 March 2017, the free monitoring will start from 1 April 2017 for both names.  The period will end on 31 March 2018.

 

After the free monitoring period, the screened names will be classified as “Expired”. You have the choice to “re-screen” the names, keep them with no further monitoring, or delete them. Each re-screening requires the same number of credits and once done, the free monitoring starts again for another 12 month period.

 

 

The Report page will have the complete list of your screened names. It allows you to search items by “Name”, by “Screened Date”, by “Status”, etc. You can also use the column headings to filter the list. Examples:

 

  • “Name” by alphabetical order
  • “Screened Date” by chronological order
  • “High Risk Country”, “Alert” and “PEP” columns by outcomes

The History page contains all the screened reports that we have ever generated for your account, including reports for any change in the screening results during the monitoring period. As per the “Report” page, you can search items by “Name”, by “Last Screened Date”, by “Status”, etc. You can also use the column headings to filter the list. Examples:

 

  • “Name” by alphabetical order
  • “Last Screened Date” by chronological order
  • “High-Risk Country”, “Alert” and “PEP” columns by outcomes

If necessary, you can click on the “Details” button for each item to extract the PDF screened report for that particular name on a particular date. You can then choose to either print the report or save the file on your computer.
