Coverys Selects Sanctions Service for Automatic Sanction Screening Checks

05.09.19 AdvantageGo

London, 05 September, 2019 –. Coverys Managing Agency Ltd (CMAL), a leading provider of medical professional liability insurance protection in the London insurance market and the United States, has signed an agreement with AdvantageGo, the commercial insurance and reinsurance product family from NIIT Technologies, to deploy Sanctions Service across its UK and US operations.

Designed to ensure adherence to international sanctions regulations, Sanctions Service is available as a fully system-agnostic Microservice that can be integrated into any platform or system and is available as a fully integrated service within the AdvantageGo Navigator Policy administration system and the new Underwriting platform.

Leveraging curated knowledge by leading data providers to enable real-time compliance, Sanctions Service provides CMAL the ability to automate the process of checking clients and individual organisations against international sanctions lists for potential matches.

Results for each screened party are automatically stored on their party record. The clearance status on each record indicates if the party has passed or failed the screening, or whether the check is still in progress. Reports can be run to identify sanctioned parties that are on contracts and can be manually re-checked based on an elapsed duration.

The Sanctions check can be set to run automatically when a new party record is created through the Party Screen and authorisation rules can be created in the service to align with an organisation’s compliance process and the results of the sanctions check. The authorisation rule can be used to provide additional operational benefits, aligned to the compliance process, such as:

  • Stop a contract from being saved if a party is added to a contract, and has failed sanctions
  • Stop a contract from being bound if a party is on a contract, and subsequently fails sanctions
  • Stop the entry of payments if a party is sanctioned

“We recognised the need to deploy innovative technology that would enable us to easily perform real-time sanction checks from trusted sources. In our line of business, we need to be immediately informed when an entity’s status changes, so we are fully compliant with our legal and regulatory obligations,” said Arthur Chopourian – Director of Operations at CMAL “The use of this technology not only enables us to reduce cost and increase efficiency by automating a manual process, it enables us to set routine automated checks at Quote, Submission, MTA, Renewal and Claim to ensure that we fulfil our legal and regulatory responsibilities”.

“Sanctions obligations apply to everyone, including insurers, and misinterpreting regulation will not avoid penalties being imposed,” said Adrian Morgan, Executive Vice-President and Head of AdvantageGo at NIIT Technologies. “Our Sanctions Service easily enables insurers to perform real-time sanction checks from trusted sources and to automatically trigger a compliance workflow process if an entity’s status changes. Our service seamlessly integrates into the pre-bind underwriting processes to provide underwriters with a real-time status to support the compliance and certainty process.”
