Financial Regulatory Reporting

Zero corporate tax and stringent secrecy and confidentiality laws make Cayman Islands prone to financial crimes of money laundering and tax evasion. AML measures enforced by regulatory body requires all the financial institutions to report on the country of domicile of counterparties of all the cashflow transactions in and out of Cayman. Tracking the end beneficiary or recipient of the money is the challenge as information is scattered across multiple disparate sources of payment information.

Solution Approach

1. Data Sourcing and standardization

Source data from Payment Origination systems, Payment messages, Clearing and Settlement systems and clean, aggregate and standardize the data.

2. Build Data Rules

        Identify patterns that could lead us to the counterparty involved in a cashflow transaction. This involved parsing through all the associated data received from mentioned data sources and reconcile it basis reason of cashflow (FX, Loan and other cash prods) and other such variables

3. Prepare the report

Once the counterparties were identified data was aggregated at the country of domicile level and presented in the form of a visual dashboard. Dashboard allows for comparison from previous results across many variables such as product type, debit versus credit and highlight any significant deviations. Once the results are validated summary report is then submitted to the regulator
