USE CASE OF THIS DATA:

-Regulatory Compliance: Compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations is essential for businesses, especially financial institutions. Regulatory authorities often require institutions to conduct due diligence on PEPs to prevent financial crimes.

-Risk Management: PEPs, due to their positions in government or public office, might have an increased risk of being involved in corruption, bribery, or illicit activities. Screening against PEP lists helps businesses assess and mitigate these risks when engaging with such individuals or entities.

-Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD): Conducting EDD is crucial for businesses when dealing with PEPs. It involves a deeper investigation into the backgrounds and financial activities of these individuals to ensure transparency and integrity in business dealings.

-Customer Onboarding and Monitoring: Businesses, especially those in banking, finance, or real estate, need to screen customers or clients against PEP lists during the onboarding process. Continuous monitoring helps detect any changes in status that might pose risks during the business relationship.

-Preventing Financial Crimes: PEPs might be susceptible to exploitation for money laundering, bribery, or other financial crimes due to their influential positions. By screening against PEP lists, businesses aim to prevent unwitting involvement in such illegal activities.

-Cross-Border Transactions & Investments: In international business transactions or investments, screening against PEP lists becomes crucial to ensure compliance with various jurisdictions' regulations and prevent exposure to legal risks.
