How a Ledgeum Report is prepared

Every report follows the same sequence: define the subject, run automated screening, review the results by hand and issue a dated, signed document. This page explains each step and its limits.

What information may be used

  • Identification data

    Names, dates of birth, registration numbers and other identifiers that distinguish the subject from namesakes.
  • Sanctions and watchlists

    Consolidated sanctions lists and other official restrictive lists.
  • PEP data

    Politically exposed persons, their family members and close associates.
  • Adverse media

    Publications about financial crime, fraud, corruption and similar topics.
  • Corporate registers

    Registration status, officers and beneficial ownership where registers provide it.
  • On-chain data

    Transaction history and attributed exposure of wallet addresses.

What is checked for each subject

Individual

  • Identity verification status, if the subject is checking themselves
  • Sanctions and watchlists
  • PEP status and close associates
  • Adverse media
  • Links to companies where data allows

Company

  • Registry status and key details
  • Directors and officers
  • Ownership chain up to beneficial owners where available
  • Sanctions, PEP and media for the company and key persons
  • Jurisdictions involved

Wallet address

  • Network and address format
  • Risk score and exposure categories
  • Direct and indirect links to high-risk services
  • Significant counterparties
  • Activity period covered by the check

Who does what

Verification and screening run on the specialised infrastructure of verification and screening providers. Automated screening is fast and broad, but it produces candidates, not conclusions.

  1. Automation

    Automated screening

    Queries the sources and returns possible matches with a similarity measure.

  2. AML specialist

    Human match review

    An in-house AML specialist compares identifiers and discards false positives.

  3. AML specialist

    Assessment

    Confirmed findings are described with their source, date and relevance.

  4. AML specialist

    Conclusion

    The specialist writes a reasoned conclusion and signs the report.

What the issue date means

A report reflects the data available when it was prepared. Sanctions lists, registers and attributions change; a subject that was clear on the issue date may not be clear a month later. For ongoing relationships, repeat the check or use continuous monitoring.

What a check cannot do

  • No source covers every person, company, register or jurisdiction.
  • Registers in some countries do not disclose beneficial owners.
  • Attribution of wallet addresses is an estimate and may change.
  • Media in rare languages or closed sources may not be covered.
  • Where data is missing or unclear, the report says so rather than guessing.

Nature of a Ledgeum Report. A Ledgeum Report is an information and analytical document reflecting the data available as of its date of issue. It is not a guarantee, a licence or a certificate, and it does not constitute legal or financial advice or an investment recommendation. The recipient remains responsible for their own decision.
