Notable Quotes 2
Find client cases where we rely on some prior decision and do not question a 'borderline' client relationship - example Epstein where clearance was given again and again despite negative media and other alerts always referring back to Packard/Caruso onboarding decision (even though both had long since left DB).
Assuming that negative media hits and respective clearances are stored: conduct a fuzzy logic search through all clearance statements looking for phrases such as "as per prior approval", " based on decision by", "...". Any hits to be reviewed by DCO/BI/AFC.
