PwC Automated on-boarding solution

Where artificial intelligence (AI) meets robotics…

On-boarding processes consist of various steps but few banks unleash the true power of modern technologies for automation, robotics and artificial intelligence, which are available and already used by other industries.

PwC’s revolutionary automated on boarding solution utilising these measures and delivers an advanced easy to use platform to support business for this crucial process.

The secret in our solution is how we tackle this problem all together. We take unstructured problems and seek to structure this problem using deep learning and artificial intelligence techniques. We then use robotics to move from structure to automation. Once we get to this point, we apply intelligence / self-learning business logic and an easy to use platform to help make informed decisions when an alert is generated.

We designed a framework which manages the whole process and addresses these challenges. 

 

Fraud and Corruption Risk Assessment

PwC Methodology and App

Our recommended approach to fraud and corruption risk assessments involves focusing on how perpetrators can potentially leverage or exploit vulnerabilities across a organization’s value chain. This approach allows focus on the areas that introduce greatest vulnerability and risk and allows for development of targeted treatment plan. PwC is using a proprietary application which combines the qualitative and the quantitative approach to assessing the risks and building the remediation plan:

  1. Identify the inherent risks - By identifying the human components in an organisations‘ value chain we identify vulnerabilities to corruption risk.
  2. Controls Assessment - Based on the identified vulnerabilities we then assess the risks and their related controls.
  3. Measure the Residual Risk Levels - We then prioritize the areas within the organization that have the greatest vulnerability and exposure to risk
  4. Perform a Quantitative Assessment - The prioritized areas are then examined at a more granular level using a combination of data analytics, process reviews, executive interviews.
  5. Build a Remediation plan - We then develop improvement plans and importantly identify the relevant KPIs for on-going monitoring.
