Getting Transaction Screening Right: Managing Sanctions & Proliferation Financing Risk in MENA | Webinar

Transaction screening is not a one-size-fits-all process.

A domestic payment, cross-border transfer, or transaction involving a higher-risk corridor can present different sanctions and proliferation financing risks. The information available for screening may also vary between transaction flows, making it important for financial institutions to determine which controls should apply and when.

For financial institutions in Saudi Arabia, this creates an important operational question: how can risk-based screening expectations be translated into practical controls across different transaction environments?

MOZN’s upcoming webinar, Getting Transaction Screening Right: Managing Sanctions & Proliferation Financing Risk in KSA, will explore this challenge and what a more configurable approach to transaction screening can look like in practice.

Moving Beyond Fixed Screening Configurations

Applying the same watchlists, transaction fields, matching criteria, and decision rules across every transaction flow can generate unnecessary alerts and increase investigation workloads.

A risk-based approach allows institutions to consider the characteristics and exposure of different transaction flows when determining how screening controls should be configured.

During the webinar, the discussion will explore how institutions can align:

• Watchlist coverage with relevant sanctions risks

• Transaction fields with the data available across different flows

• Matching criteria and decision rules with risk exposure

• Pre-screening and post-screening rules with operational requirements

• Workflows, reporting, and audit trails with governance requirements

The objective is not simply to introduce more screening controls, but to apply the right controls to the right transaction flows while maintaining consistency, oversight, and decision traceability.

What You’ll Learn

During the 60-minute session, attendees will explore what risk-based transaction screening means in practice, including:

• Why different transaction flows may require different screening configurations

• How to align watchlist coverage, transaction fields, matching criteria, and decision rules with risk exposure

• How pre-screening and post-screening rules can improve alert relevance and reduce unnecessary operational pressure

• How centralized workflows, reports, and audit trails can support timely and defensible screening decisions

The session will also include a high-level walkthrough of MOZN Real-Time Transaction Screening, with a closer look at how Screening Templates can help institutions configure and govern screening controls through a centralized framework.
