The financial services industry is experiencing increased scrutiny,
prompting institutions to rapidly evolve their AML and KYC
programs
Copyright © 2016 Accenture All rights reserved.
1. United States Government Accountability Office - Fines, Penalties, and Forfeitures for Violations of Financial Crimes and Sanctions
Requirements Report – March 2016
External Environment
• US Department of the Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)
Customer Due Diligence Rule -- requiring Beneficial Ownership
• Since 2009, financial institutions assessed about $12 billion in fines for violations
of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and AML regulations and U.S. Sanctions
requirements1
Internal Environment
• Expansion of policies and standards – examples include (but not limited to):
o Capture and verify additional AML/KYC information on their clients
o Update AML/KYC information on a periodic basis
o Expand reviews to include relationships across business lines
• Significant increase in operational volumes
• Aging IT systems/infrastructure, with heavy reliance on manual processes
• Large and rising cost of AML/KYC compliance
4. 4
Though organizations are focused on increasing the rigor and
scope of their AML/KYC functions, many are struggling to expand
their operations accordingly
Barriers to Improving AML and KYC
• Unsustainable Processes
o Simplification
o Reliance on manual Processes
o Understanding complexity of
process
• Skilled Talent Shortage
o Increased locations (near-
shore/offshore)
o Integration of global teams
• Insufficient Training
o Role-based training
o Incorporating Feedback and
lessons learned
• Inconsistent Quality
o Quality metrics
o Sampling calibration
o Continuous improvement

What is robotic process automation (RPA)
Copyright © 2016 Accenture All rights reserved.
Robotic process automation (RPA) is the application of technology to “mimic” the actions of
a human.
A bot logs into the same applications and does the same tasks as a person. But the bot
captures all details of the process and stores the details for potential auditing later.

consist of employees as well as
intelligent machines

Robotics value proposition
Copyright © 2016 Accenture All rights reserved.
Robotics can deliver payback on investment in about 3 - 6 months when implemented at
scale.
Increased productivity
with the potential to
operate 24/7 - less FTEs
needed to complete
repetitive tasks
Approximately 6 weeks
required for a cost-
effective implementation
Higher staff satisfaction by eliminating monotonous tasks
and allowing individuals to focus on higher value work
One “bot” equates on
average to 3 – 5 FTEs at
1/3 of the cost of an
offshore resource
Consistent quality
guaranteed as human
error is eliminated
New operational ability to dynamically manage
resource capacity and address peak volumes
