Suspicion reports
A suspicion report records that someone at your organisation found a transaction, an account, or a person suspicious.
It is the opposite of a cash threshold report. A threshold report opens on its own when an amount is reached. A suspicion report opens only because a person decided to raise one.
You work with them on the Suspicion reports screen.
Who can see this screen
Suspicion reports are held apart from everything else in the platform.
- Anyone can raise one. Raising is deliberately unrestricted, so nobody has to ask for access at the moment they need to report something.
- Only holders of the dedicated permission can read them. The list, the subjects, and who raised each report are all behind it.
- They never reach the task list. A shared queue entry naming the subject would itself tip the subject off, so no task is ever raised.
Tell your colleagues who raise reports that they will usually not see them again. That is the intended behaviour, not a fault.
Raising a report
- Select Raise report.
- Enter the counterparty, a subject description, or both.
- Select Raise.
One of the two is enough. A description on its own is a valid report, which matters when the subject never became a customer — a walk-in whose transaction you refused still has to be reportable.
The report records who raised it and the date, and neither can be edited afterwards.
Reading the list
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Raised | The date the report was raised |
| Subject | The counterparty, the account, or the description given |
| Raised by | The person who raised it |
| Status | Open, or dispositioned with the reference you filed |
| Status | What it means | What you do next |
|---|---|---|
| Open | Nobody has filed this report yet | File it, then record the reference |
| Dispositioned | Filed, and the reference is recorded | Nothing, unless the reference was wrong |
Dispositioning a report
Filing happens outside this system. The platform does not send the report — it records that you did, and under which reference.
- Select Disposition on the report’s row.
- Enter the goAML reference you were given when you filed.
- Select Save.
The status becomes Dispositioned and shows the reference. If you typed it wrongly, select Update and enter the correct one.
A report is never removed, and dispositioning does not hide it. The record of who raised it, when, and what was filed survives for as long as the account history does.
What your organisation configures
- Whether this screen appears at all. Suspicion reporting is a licensable capability. See switching features on and off.
- Who holds the read permission. Grant it narrowly — it is the only thing keeping the list private.
