Firco List Service Improve the Quality of Your Official Sanctions Lists

Unique Expertise The FLS team has been dedicated to list management since 2002, stemming from financial institutions’ requirements to comply with post 9/11 international regulations against terrorism financing. The team is comprised of highly skilled professionals (100% have masters degrees in natural language processing) working hand-in-hand with their customer community. Its unique multi-lingual / multi-cultural skillset, hands-on experience of Fircosoft filtering solutions, and direct link with the Fircosoft product team allow full alignment of provided list items with Fircosoft products.

A list service for better screening resultsStaying compliant with the latest government published lists and ensuring that your watch lists are accurate, up-to-date, and tested is a challenging and time-consuming task for any financial institution.

That is why Fircosoft offers its Firco List Service (FLS). By utilising the FLS, you will benefit from a dedicated department of experts that work to provide you with the highest quality lists to enable you to improve your filtering results and reduce the number of hits.

Up-to-date quality listsThe Firco List Service offer evolves constantly to meet customer requirements. The following lists are maintained on an on-going basis and delivered by the Firco List Service.

To subscribe to these lists or to get more information about them, please contact your account manager, who will make a proposal in accordance with the Firco List Service team.

Ensuring timely updatesYour specific selection of official sanctions lists are updated, enhanced, optimised, tested and validated for timely implementation. By utilising the Firco List Service you benefit from the fast delivery of high quality lists to ensure compliance. FLS automatically monitors your selected lists for any update, and goes the extra step of manually checking key regulatory sources that may not be automated (e.g. multi-file lists, non-standard formats, exotic languages). Compliance with actual regulation is verified for each new / removed / updated listed entry prior to distribution. Potential impact on filtering behaviour is systematically evaluated, and recommendations are provided for best rules adaptation.

List enhancement and error correctionFircosoft enhances list records, avoiding the possibility of missing a relevant event, and corrects potential errors in lists. For example, Fircosoft experts will correct the difference between records announced by the regulatory bodies as amended and records in the electronic lists. When a financial institution is listed, the service ensures that all relevant BICs are included. Data enrichment is focused on relevant elements to limit false positive detection.
