Know Your Customer - KYC Process Capability Maturity Model

KYC Process Capability Maturity Model

A series of draft KYC Capability Maturity Model papers were published and shared for peer review with a range of international KYC practitioners in 2009 - 2011. An updated version was published in ACAMS Today (Vol. 11 No. 4 - 2012), the journal of ACAMS, the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists.

The KYC Maturity Model is based on the typical 5 levels of the standard Capability Maturity Model. These levels are typically described as Initial, Repeatable, Defined, Managed and Optimized and have very strict meanings. The KYC maturity has however been somewhat simplified, renamed and re-built as follows: Chaotic, Reactive, Proactive, Service Managed and Value Managed. Practical process improvement learnings have also been taken from common manufacturing and IT productivity methodologies such as Lean, Agile, 6-Sigma, ITIL and Balanced Scorecard.

Famous quotes containing the words process, maturity and/or model:

    ... geometry became a symbol for human relations, except that it was better, because in geometry things never go bad. If certain things occur, if certain lines meet, an angle is born. You cannot fail. It’s not going to fail; it is eternal. I found in rules of mathematics a peace and a trust that I could not place in human beings. This sublimation was total and remained total. Thus, I’m able to avoid or manipulate or process pain.
    Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911)

    [How] the young . . . can grow from the primitive to the civilized, from emotional anarchy to the disciplined freedom of maturity without losing the joy of spontaneity and the peace of self-honesty is a problem of education that no school and no culture have ever solved.
    Leontine Young (20th century)

    AIDS occupies such a large part in our awareness because of what it has been taken to represent. It seems the very model of all the catastrophes privileged populations feel await them.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
