Our new survey report reveals that risk screening processes across North America remain burdened by delays, heavy manual workloads, and frequent false positives. Firms view real-time sanctions and risk intelligence data as essential for improving decision making, yet budget and resource limitations continue to slow adoption. While automation and AI offer meaningful efficiency gains, human oversight remains a critical component of effective compliance.

Key findings include:

  • Over 80% of financial institutions in North America experience screening delays, 80% citing heavy manual review workloads, and 75% struggling with high false‑positive rates.
  • 100% of North American respondents say real time access to sanctions and risk data is important to their compliance workflows.
  • Financial institutions in North America lead the way in automated compliance screening and believe there are substantial efficiency and effectiveness gains to be realised.
