Denial Screening on Steroids (Legal Ones): Giving your Compliance System a Boost with Dynamic Screening

 

May 23, 2012

10:00am-11:00am (PST)

1:00pm-2:00pm (EST)

 

(Pre-Registration is Required)

 

Considering bulk/batch screening multiple times a year to ensure your backlog, employee, or customer list remains screened and clean? Bulk/batch screening is a growing service offered my MK Data Services. Unfortunately the gap from the time the bulk/batch screening was performed and the updates are made to the denial list offer challenges to the screening process. 

Dynamic Screening List (DSL) service is a great product for pro-actively screening your lists. It is ideal for companies that have many sales to the same set of clients on a repeated basis. Each time there is a change to the Denied Party List (DPL) the changes are screened against your DSL and a report of any potential matches is sent to an email address of your designation.

Changes are made to the comprehensive DPL on a daily basis. Those changes are frequent and could play havoc on your backlog, or existing client lists. This chart highlights those additions, deletions, and changes made in the last 3 months. (REGISTER NOW)
