Bring country-level context into wider compliance assessment
ClearSanction Country Intelligence brings relevant country information together in one profile, helping compliance professionals review FATF status, recognised risk indicators and sanctions context alongside their wider assessment.
It supports professional judgement; it does not make an automated country-risk decision.
Country context can matter beyond the screening result
Country information can form part of wider customer, counterparty and compliance assessment.
The information that matters — and how it should be weighted — depends on the organisation's obligations, activities and risk framework. Country Intelligence brings relevant context together without prescribing a universal risk methodology.
Review the country profile in one place
Current Country Intelligence profiles bring together:
- check_circleCountry Overview;
- check_circleFATF Status;
- check_circleBasel AML Index;
- check_circleCorruption Perceptions Index;
- check_circleRisk Indicators;
- check_circleSanctions Overview.
This gives the user a consolidated place to review supported country-level information while retaining the distinction between the underlying indicators.
Understand FATF status
Country profiles include FATF status information, allowing users to see relevant FATF context alongside the rest of the profile.
Add Basel AML Index context
The Basel AML Index provides a recognised source of country-level money-laundering and related risk context.
ClearSanction surfaces this information as one input within the country profile. It is not a ClearSanction proprietary country-risk score.
Review Corruption Perceptions Index information
Country Intelligence includes information from Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index.
This provides an additional recognised country-level indicator that can be considered alongside other relevant information.
Bring risk indicators together
Country profiles present supported risk indicators so compliance professionals can review relevant context without moving between disconnected sources.
The indicators provide inputs to assessment. They do not determine the organisation's risk classification automatically.
See sanctions context alongside wider country information
The Sanctions Overview adds sanctions-related context to the country profile.
This is contextual information and is not a substitute for screening an individual, organisation, vessel or wallet against supported screening data.
Keep the underlying sources visible
Country Intelligence should build trust through source transparency.
Where supported, the origin of FATF, Basel AML Index and Transparency International information is shown alongside the profile.
