goAML Reporting System: What’s New in Naming Conversion, 5.4 Version, and Pilkada

The goAML Reporting System has been a crucial tool for financial institutions and regulators worldwide to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. With the ever-evolving regulatory landscape, NawaData is excited to introduce the latest updates to our goAML Reporting System. This includes the much-anticipated Naming Conversion feature, the enhanced 5.4 version, and the specialized goAML Pilkada module. These updates are designed to provide a more streamlined, efficient, and compliant reporting experience for our clients.

Understanding goAML Reporting System

The goAML Reporting System is a powerful tool that facilitates the generation of various types of reports required by regulatory bodies, such as the PPATK (Indonesian Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center). The system encompasses a wide range of transactions, including International Fund Transfer Instructions (IFTI), Cash Transaction Reports (CTR), and Suspicious Transaction Reports (STR). The reports generated are crucial for monitoring financial activities and ensuring that they adhere to the necessary legal frameworks.

Key Components of goAML:

International Fund Transfer Instructions (IFTI/LTKL): These are reports generated for transactions involving the transfer of funds across borders. This component captures both swift and non-swift transactions, ensuring comprehensive coverage of cross-border financial activities.
Cash Transaction Reports (CTR/LTKT): CTRs are generated for cash transactions exceeding a certain threshold, which is typically set by the regulatory authority. In Indonesia, for example, transactions involving cash deposits or withdrawals of Rp 500,000,000 or more must be reported.
Suspicious Transaction Reports (STR/LTKM): STRs are crucial for identifying and reporting transactions that deviate from a customer’s normal behavior or financial profile, potentially indicating money laundering or other illicit activities.

Transactions Reported Through goAML Include:

Cash deposits and withdrawals
Domestic and international fund transfers
Overbooking
Credit card transactions
Internal transactions of related financial service providers (PJK)

NawaData goAML System Features: NawaData has developed an enhanced goAML system that includes various features to simplify and automate the reporting process:

Manage Parameters: Customize and adjust reporting parameters according to your specific needs.
Auto-Generate Reports: Automatically generate CTR, IFTI, and STR reports from bank data sources, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
Data Management: Easily view, add, edit, export, and manage CTR, IFTI, and STR data.
Custom Reports: Tailor reports according to the specific needs of each bank, including detailed analytics and data visualization.
Dual Control Mechanism: Incorporates a maker-checker system to ensure the accuracy and integrity of reports before submission.
PPATK Scheme Validation: goAML have 2 validation based on business rules & xsd. Validates the reporting scheme against PPATK’s requirements to minimize the chances of report rejection.

Case Study: Enhancing Compliance Through Automated Reporting

Consider a mid-sized bank that operates both domestically and internationally. Before implementing NawaData’s goAML system, the bank faced significant challenges in managing and reporting large volumes of transactions, particularly during peak periods. The manual process was time-consuming, prone to errors, and led to delays in report submission.

After adopting NawaData’s goAML system, the bank experienced the following improvements:

Efficiency: The automation of report generation reduced the time required to compile and submit reports by over 50%.
Accuracy: The dual control system ensured that all reports were thoroughly checked before submission, significantly reducing the error rate.
Compliance: With real-time validation against PPATK’s requirements, the bank’s reports were rarely rejected, ensuring continuous compliance.

What’s New in the goAML System?

1. goAML Naming Conversion

goAML Naming Conversion refers to the structured approach used to name entities, transactions, and other elements within the goAML system. The primary goal of this conversion is to maintain uniformity and clarity, which is crucial for regulatory compliance and effective monitoring of financial activities.

The conversion process involves adhering to specific naming conventions and guidelines that dictate how data should be labeled. This includes the use of standardized prefixes, suffixes, and formats that align with international anti-money laundering protocols.

Best Practices for Successful Naming Conversion

To overcome these challenges, financial institutions can follow these best practices:

Develop Clear Guidelines: Establish clear, detailed guidelines that outline the naming conventions to be used within goAML. These guidelines should be easily accessible to all relevant staff members.
Regular Training: Implement regular training sessions to ensure that all employees are familiar with the naming conventions and understand their importance.
Use Automated Tools: Where possible, utilize automated tools that can help enforce naming conventions, reducing the likelihood of human error.
Continuous Monitoring and Updates: Naming conventions should be regularly reviewed and updated to keep up with changes in regulations and industry practices.

2. goAML Pilkada

This module is specifically designed to handle the unique challenges associated with electoral periods, such as Indonesia’s Pilkada (regional elections).

System Advantages:

Watchlist Matching: Provides a matching process between the PPATK watchlist versus customers and the board of directors (BOD), using the National Identification Number (NIK) for accurate matching.
Parameterizable Query Matching: Allows for customization of query matching parameters, making it adaptable to specific regulatory or organizational needs.
