Adverse media screening helps identify publications that may contribute to the risk assessment of a person or entity. Finding a news item does not mean the allegation has been verified or that the person is guilty.
Source and content
The publishing source, the date, the subject of the story and the current status of the event are assessed together. Republication of the same story should not count as separate independent evidence.
Person matching
Stories about similarly named people must be separated. Do not infer a definitive match without additional identity details and context.
Review and product scope
Learn the covered languages, sources and update approach from the product provider. Do not treat an adverse media check as having the same legal consequence as a sanctions list match.
