CDD, risk and reporting in one place

Puritas develops client data, customer due diligence (CDD) and risk software for fund administrators, corporate service providers, and private wealth firms. Its CDD and risk platform, PureClient, brings multi-jurisdictional anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, risk assessment, periodic reviews, and regulatory reporting onto one auditable system, with audit trails captured automatically as the work happens.

The platform applies CDD requirements across multiple jurisdictions from one place, supports a consistent risk methodology, schedules and tracks reviews through to completion, and produces FATCA and CRS submissions from data already held. Sanctions and politically exposed person (PEP) screening runs automatically through integrated screening services. PureClient is used by firms across the UK, Ireland, and key international and offshore jurisdictions including Luxembourg, South Africa, Jersey, Guernsey, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands.

THE PROBLEM

The reality of multi-jurisdictional compliance 

Compliance teams in fund administration are running multi-jurisdictional CDD by hand, using systems and spreadsheets that were never built for the volume or the regulatory complexity they now have to support.

Each jurisdiction needs different evidence to different standards, periodic reviews stack up faster than the team can work through them, and the audit trail behind every decision lives across half a dozen places.

The cost shows up everywhere. Risk scoring done in spreadsheets is only ever as consistent as the person filling it in, with no shared methodology behind the ratings and no quick way to demonstrate how a particular rating was reached.

FATCA and CRS reporting pulls the most capable people away from the rest of the work for weeks at a time, built around exports lookups and manual reconciliation. Remediation projects surface the same data gaps year after year because the underlying records were never brought together in the first place.

And underneath all of it, the controls are operating after the event rather than as part of the workflow. Evidence is reconstructed for audits rather than produced directly from the record itself, and the same findings keep coming back.

None of this reflects how hard the team works. It reflects what happens when manual processes are asked to handle ever-increasing volumes and regulatory complexity.

 

THE APPROACH

How PureClient solves it 

Our client data and CDD software, PureClient, brings the entire compliance function onto a single system. It manages CDD across multiple jurisdictions with configurable rules for each, applies a consistent risk methodology, schedules periodic reviews and tracks them through to completion, and processes FATCA and CRS reporting from data already held.

The platform centralises every client and entity structure into a single, current application, runs automated sanctions and PEP screening through integrated services such as WorldCheck, and captures the audit trail as work happens.

Compliance teams move from running compliance after the event to managing it within the workflow. Reviews become a queue the team works through rather than a backlog the team chases.

Risk ratings are supported by a consistent methodology and a complete audit trail. And when an auditor or a regulator asks how a decision was reached, the answer comes from the record itself rather than a manual reconstruction.

For fund administrators and corporate service providers operating across across the UK, Ireland, and key international and offshore jurisdictions including Luxembourg, South Africa, Jersey, Guernsey, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands, including portfolios under UCITS, SIFID, AIFMD, and MiFID II, PureClient replaces a collection of disconnected tools with a single platform. 

Key capabilities

CDD across every jurisdiction

Apply CDD requirements across multiple jurisdictions from a single platform, with the methodology held in the system rather than in individual processes. The same client can move through multiple jurisdictions without separate sets of forms.

Risk assessment using a shared methodology

Apply a consistent risk methodology across every client, with the rationale recorded automatically as ratings are assigned. A complete audit trail captures every change, so reviews and inspections can see how decisions were reached and why.

Periodic reviews completed on schedule, not by reminder

Reviews are scheduled, tracked, and reported on, keeping backlogs visible and manageable. Nothing slips because someone forgot to chase it, and overdue items are flagged before they become a compliance risk.

A single source of client data

Client, entity, and beneficial owner data lives in one system. Sanctions and politically exposed person (PEP) screening runs automatically through integrated screening services, while CDD, reporting, and reviews all draw from the same data.

FATCA & CRS without the scramble

Reporting submissions are produced from the data already held in the platform, with reconciliation built in. The work that usually has to be pieced together from exports and spreadsheets ahead of deadline is already done.

Maker-checker control with full audit trail

Every change to a client record passes through a four-eyes makerchecker workflow before it becomes live. The platform records every change, decision, and screening result automatically as the work happens, creating the evidence regulators and auditors need. When a decision is challenged, the answer comes from system-generated evidence rather than a manual reconstruction.

Common questions

PureClient manages CDD across multiple jurisdictions from one platform, with rules configured for each. Fund administrators and corporate service providers running clients across the UK, Ireland, and key international and offshore jurisdictions including Luxembourg, South Africa, Jersey, Guernsey, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands and can apply each jurisdiction’s requirements without maintaining a separate system per market. 

Yes. PureClient produces FATCA and CRS reporting from the client and investor data already held in the platform, with reconciliation built in, and generates the XML upload files ready for submission. The work that usually has to be manually reassembled from exports the week before a deadline is already done. 

PureClient schedules every client’s periodic review, tracks each review through to completion, and records who completed it and when. Overdue items are flagged before they become exposed, and audit trails sit within the client record itself. 

Yes. PureClient records every change, decision, and screening result automatically as the work happens. When a regulator or auditor asks how a decision was reached, the answer is system-generated evidence rather than manual reconstruction after the fact.
