The KPMG Customer Due Diligence Navigator provides a holistic approach to highlighting the challenges of clients’ Customer Due Diligence function and helps to identify opportunities for solving them.

Know Your Customer (KYC) / Customer Due Diligence (CDD) is a core financial crime requirement. Despite huge levels of investment, poor execution remains the reality for many organizations. It most often comes down to its multi-faceted and cross-functional nature – the complexity of execution makes it difficult for firms to identify where their problems lie, and what the solutions might be.

Typical operational issues can include:

• Weak lineage between policy, procedures, underlying process and technology;
• Highly manual processes;
• Low quality case outcomes; and
• Ineffective use of technology, data and analytics.

Resulting in low quality financial crime decision-making; costly remediation and regulatory fines; sub-optimal through-put; detrimental impact to customer experience, reputational damage and wider social harm.
