Compliance & Risk Automation — KYC, AML, and operational risk workflows with audit-ready governance.
BPMN-modelled workflows for KYC, AML, prior authorisation, and operational risk processes. AI-assisted decisioning with audit trails, exception routing, and human review at exactly the points regulators require — reducing manual effort without weakening control.
Workflows modelled as executable BPMN — every step traceable and reviewable
Models flagging anomalies and routing the cases that need human judgement
Audit machinery aligned to AML, KYC, and operational risk frameworks
AI governance framework embedded across decisioning workloads
01 / THE CHALLENGE
Compliance workloads expanding faster than compliance teams can scale.
Banks, insurers, and fund managers face rising compliance demands — KYC at onboarding, ongoing AML monitoring, sanctions screening, transaction surveillance, operational risk reporting — all running against tighter regulatory timelines and deeper documentation expectations.
Adding more analysts to the compliance team scales linearly. The regulatory load doesn't. Manual review cycles stretch across days; analyst attention gets consumed by low-risk cases that an AI model could clear in milliseconds; high-risk cases sit waiting because the queue isn't prioritised; and every step of every case has to be defensible to the regulator. Compliance & Risk Automation puts BPMN-modelled workflows around the high-volume processes, with AI decisioning handling the routine cases and analyst review reserved for the cases that genuinely need human judgement. Every action logged. Every decision auditable. Every exception captured.
02 / THE APPROACH
Four phases. Each one ships agent capability into citizen channels.
CODE81 delivers the Citizen Service Agent in four phases — designed so the agent is in production handling real citizen traffic by the end of the second phase, not at the end of a 12-month transformation programme.
- Process audit & risk mapping — Audit existing compliance and risk processes. Map regulatory requirements to workflow steps. Identify where AI decisioning can clear routine cases and where human review is required by regulation.
- Workflow build & first process — Build the BPMN workflow platform with audit logging, exception routing, and role-based access. Deploy the first compliance workflow into production with AI decisioning on the routine path.
- Additional workflows & AI scoring — Roll out additional compliance workflows on the same platform — KYC, AML, sanctions, transaction surveillance. Extend AI decisioning to additional case types as the data supports it.
- Monitoring, retraining & regulator dialogue — Lock in workflow analytics, model drift monitoring, and the documentation regulators expect. Establish the ongoing governance cadence with the institution's compliance and risk leadership.
03 / THE SOLUTION
Six components that make up a production-grade Compliance & Risk Automation.
The full reference architecture — what gets built, how the pieces fit together, and where the governance controls sit.
/ COMPONENT 01
BPMN Workflow Engine
The platform itself — compliance and risk processes modelled as executable BPMN, refined by the business without code rewrites.
/ COMPONENT 02
AI Decisioning Layer
Models scoring routine cases — sanctions matches, transaction patterns, KYC document validation — and routing exceptions to human review.
/ COMPONENT 03
Exception Routing & Review
Configurable routing rules ensuring high-risk and high-complexity cases reach analysts with the context they need to decide.
/ COMPONENT 04
Audit Logging & Lineage
Every decision logged with model version, training data context, analyst review, and final outcome — defensible records for every regulator query.
/ COMPONENT 05
Identity & RBAC
Role-based access aligned to the compliance organisational hierarchy — segregation of duties enforced at the platform level.
/ COMPONENT 06
Regulator Reporting
Pre-built reporting flows for AML, KYC, and operational risk — regulator-ready outputs without monthly manual rebuilds.
Connect
Workflow platform integrated with onboarding, transaction, and identity systems.
Automate
BPMN-modelled processes execute compliance steps with AI clearing routine cases.
Decide
Exceptions routed to analysts with structured context and decisioning history.
Audit
Every decision, model version, and analyst action logged for regulator review.
