Negative News Screening Agent

The Negative News Screening Agent conducts risk-based web investigations, identifying adverse information about individuals or businesses to assess financial, legal, and reputational risk.

The Negative News Screening Agent addresses the critical need for organizations to identify and mitigate risks associated with financial crimes, legal violations, and reputational damage. In an era where financial institutions and businesses are under increasing scrutiny to comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) standards, this agent provides a systematic approach to uncovering adverse information about individuals or entities. By doing so, it helps organizations maintain compliance, avoid regulatory penalties, and safeguard their reputation.

This agent operates by conducting comprehensive web searches using targeted keywords and phrases related to financial crimes, corruption, and other risk factors. It filters out irrelevant or self-published content, focusing on credible sources such as public records, news articles, and sanctions lists. The agent then analyzes the findings to assess the credibility of the sources and the severity of the risks, compiling the results into a structured report. This report is formatted for easy review and shared with designated stakeholders via Slack, ensuring timely and actionable insights.

The agent is equipped with several tools to enhance its functionality. It leverages tools like UiPath GenAI Activities Web Search for gathering information, a Web Reader Agent for detailed content analysis, and Slack integration for report dissemination. These tools enable the agent to perform precise searches, extract relevant data, and communicate findings effectively. By automating these processes, the agent not only enhances efficiency but also ensures a thorough and unbiased risk assessment.
