Independent
Certification &
Audit Automation

DecisionIQ's self-managed UAT & audit tool to validate accuracy, minimize false positives, and optimize screening configuration.

Independent Validation and Certification for AML Screening Systems

CertiQ tests, measures and proves screening effectiveness by running directly against live DecisionIQ screening logic. It retrieves real names from live OFAC data, PEP data and adverse media sources to validate configuration performance, threshold tuning and data accuracy. CertiQ also supports custom file uploads to test your own names.

Live production screening validation
Retrieve names directly from lists such as OFAC SDN to assess data accuracy
Threshold-based pass/fail evaluation
Name variant and match sensitivity testing
Structured UAT and independent review workflows
Audit-ready documentation and evidence export
Key Capabilities

Complete testing & validation suite

CertiQ enables continuous, automated model validation and audit tracking for DecisionIQ and other screening configurations

Evaluate Test Strategies

Conduct various tests to understand the best DecisionIQ configuration according to your needs.

Simulate Name Variants

Use AI to produce name variations testing against potential discrepancies and obfuscation.

Compare Expected Matches

Label outcomes to see where behavior aligns or deviates from expectations.

Search Configuration Modes

Choose between search modes tuned for reliable or unreliable name data, or build custom screening configuration.

Flexible Test Data Options

Run tests using real-time SDN data, pre-loaded watchlist files and news articles, or upload your own custom test data.

Outcome Labeling

Users can assign expected match labels and review results for conformance with regulatory requirements.

AML UAT and Screening Validation Is a Governance Requirement

Regulators expect financial institutions to demonstrate that their AML controls are effective. Deploying a screening engine without structured validation introduces operational and regulatory risk.

Effective AML UAT requires:

Defined success criteria before testing begins
Representative data reflecting real-world risk exposure
Transparent measurement of false positive and false negative behavior
Traceable documentation of all testing outcomes
Human-in-the-loop oversight and reviewer assessment logging

CertiQ enables institutions to move beyond vendor claims and establish measurable screening effectiveness through structured validation.
