Question No: 1
MultipleChoice
Which control mechanism is used to increase transparency and ensure quality of reviews and subsequent decisions?
Options
Answer AExplanation
A four-eye check is a standard internal control requiring two independent reviewers to validate decisions, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and reducing the risk of error or inappropriate clearance of alerts.
Sanctions and Compliance Domains identify this as a critical component of the alert-handling process, enabling oversight and minimizing compliance failures.
Fuzzy matching is a screening technique, not a control mechanism. Batch screening and threshold calibration relate to system functionality, not independent quality assurance.
Internal control expectations in sanctions compliance programs.
Dual-review (''four-eye'') mechanism for alert quality assurance.
