Analysis of Interbank Messages for the Enforcement of Financial Regulations
Abstract
In the context of the recent policies concerning anti-money laundering
and counter terrorist financing defined by the Financial Action Task Force
Recommendation 16, it is the responsibility of the financial institution to monitor
the quality of the information present in wire transfers. To that end, we present
in this paper an approach to automate the monitoring and the validation of the
information contained in interbank transfer messages. The approach is implemented
in a solution built around an event-driven architecture where the data
is processed as a stream and transformed at each stage. This architecture is in
line with the latest research in data warehouses with stream data processing. We
show that our approach is suitable to the requirements and the standards in the
banking industry
