The purpose of the AML Transaction Monitoring and Alerting System is to enhance the compliance framework within the banking industry by identifying and flagging suspicious transactions. This DAG collects transaction data from various internal sources such as core banking systems, as well as external sources like credit bureaus and regulatory databases. The ingestion pipeline efficiently aggregates this data into a centralized repository for further analysis. The processing steps involve applying sophisticated anomaly detection algorithms to the collected data, which analyze transaction patterns and behaviors to identify potential red flags. Quality controls are embedded throughout the process, ensuring data integrity and accuracy. In the event of detected anomalies, real-time alerts are generated and sent to compliance officers for immediate review. Additionally, all outcomes are recorded in a compliance register, facilitating traceability and accountability in decision-making processes. Regular audits are conducted to ensure adherence to regulatory requirements and to refine detection algorithms based on historical data. Key performance indicators (KPIs) monitored include the number of alerts generated, the time taken to resolve alerts, and the percentage of false positives. The business value of this DAG is significant, as it not only helps in risk mitigation but also strengthens the institution's reputation by demonstrating a proactive approach to compliance.
