Why CompliScope

Assessments are only useful when the rationale is visible.

AML/CFT reviews tend to fragment - across documents, trackers, and email threads. CompliScope keeps the rationale on the page.

Scope the work clearly

Define controls in scope, Axiom context, and reporting expectations on the engagement record before evidence is collected.

Connect evidence to rationale

Every observation traces to the document, inquiry, or test that supports it. Rationale sits next to the conclusion.

Move from review to report

Approved observations flow into report-ready output. The narrative comes from the record - not a reconstruction.

What's inside

A reviewable record. A governed methodology layer.

CompliScope is built around two concepts: Folio, the engagement evidence and assessment record, and Axiom, the governed AML/CFT methodology library that gives each engagement its control, evidence, rating, inquiry, and testing context.

Proprietary · Defensible
Folio

The Folio is CompliScope's document intake, evidence, and assessment record. Source material, inquiry notes, walkthrough records, control evaluations, review comments, and observations live on one structured record.

  • Structured intake - source material captured with metadata, jurisdiction, and provenance
  • Evidence anchored to the controls and assertions it substantiates
  • Reviewable record - workflow state, evidence links, and reviewer decisions stay visible
  • The Folio is the workpaper. Reports are formatted from it, not rebuilt
Governed methodology · Engagement-scoped
Axiom

Axiom is the governed methodology and reference layer. It carries controls, jurisdiction context, document requests, interview guides, rating standards, and Operating Effectiveness testing templates into the engagement.

  • Published Axiom content is versioned before it is used by an engagement
  • Engagement work keeps the methodology context it was scoped against
  • Expected evidence, inquiry prompts, ratings, and testing templates are tied to the same source
  • No autonomous findings. Severity, rationale, and conclusion stay with the assessor
Disclaimer

CompliScope supports assessment workflows. It does not provide legal advice, generate autonomous regulatory conclusions, or replace professional judgment. The assessor is the author of the record.

How it works

The method, evidence, review, and output stay connected.

CompliScope is built around the assessment record itself: Axiom supplies the governed method, Folio carries the evidence and workpaper, and report preparation uses the reviewed record.

Axiom context is carried into the engagement

The assessment starts from governed source material for controls, evidence expectations, inquiry, ratings, and Operating Effectiveness templates.

Folio keeps evidence and judgment together

Documents, inquiry notes, mappings, workpapers, review comments, observations, and report inputs stay on one engagement record.

Review happens before output leaves the record

QA, observation development, client buy-in, and report drafting remain connected to the underlying evidence trail.

Platform

One workspace for the assessment lifecycle.

Scope, evidence, control evaluation, QA, observations, and reporting in one connected record.

Control evaluation

Design Effectiveness and Operating Effectiveness work tied to the Axiom context selected for the engagement.

Document and inquiry intake

Source material, inquiry notes, and walkthrough records captured as a structured Folio.

Framework alignment

Use published Axiom context to align controls, expected evidence, ratings, and testing procedures to the engagement scope.

Evidence-led findings

Observations carry rationale, severity, and source citations on the same record.

Quality assurance

Reviewer gates between draft and final - comments resolve before observations are released.

Report-ready outputs

Approved record produces the report. Format the output; do not rebuild the assessment.

Jurisdiction

Select the Axiom context. Keep the Folio intact.

Each engagement carries the methodology context that matters: global standards, supervisory references, local requirements, sanctions considerations, or an institution-specific control set. The evidence and inquiry record stay on the same Folio.
