Streamlining Onboarding for a Large Consulting Firm
How a leading consulting firm uses Valital to enhance KYC due diligence and strengthen client acceptance controls.
The firm’s centralized compliance team supports multiple departments, conducting tens of thousands of annual client checks.
Even with robust systems in place, the process was:
- ⚙️ Complex and time-intensive, relying heavily on manual verification.
- ⚠️ Risk-prone, with potential gaps when tools failed to detect nuanced misconduct.
- 💰 Costly, as maintaining full KYC compliance demands both time and regulatory precision.
In their industry, Know Your Client (KYC) isn’t just policy—it’s protection against fraud, money laundering, and regulatory penalties.
When the team discovered Valital’s AI-powered Adverse Media Monitoring platform, they conducted a 30-day pilot project, integrating Valital directly into their client acceptance workflow.
The result? Seamless comparison alongside their in-house system — and immediate value.
Here’s what Valital delivered:
- Real-Time Screening & Monitoring: Continuous scanning of open-source intelligence for risks like fraud, business disputes, or misconduct.
- Dual-Language Insights: English and French media coverage with full context—no auto-translation errors.
- Customized Configuration: Features tuned to the firm’s compliance framework and approval workflows.
- Responsive Support: Dedicated technical and user assistance for smooth adoption.
With Valital in place, the consulting firm now benefits from:
- 📊 More accurate, context-rich KYC checks with fewer false positives.
- ⚡ Faster client acceptance cycles without sacrificing compliance rigor.
- 🧠 Stronger confidence in risk detection, supported by AI-driven insights.
- 💼 Seamless collaboration between compliance, risk, and client teams.
