Complete KYC assessments

Complete a Know Your Customer (KYC) assessment for each client to protect your practice from fraud and losses resulting from illegal funds and transactions.

Make sure you complete the assessment carefully. Once completed and saved, you cannot edit or delete the assessment.

  1. From the Clients menu, select Clients list then find and open the required client.

    If any of the entries are greyed out and you cannot select them, this is a restricted client — the client record has been set to Private and you do not have access. Contact your IRIS Elements administrator if you believe this is a mistake.

  2. Select the AML tab.

  3. On the KYC assessment panel, select Create KYC assessment. To edit an existing open assessment, select Continue.

  1. Work through the sections, answering questions, adding comments and information relevant to your client. 

  2. Select Save & continue at the bottom of the page. Select Complete to finish (only available once mandatory information has been completed). Remember that you cannot edit or delete an assessment once saved. The completed assessment is listed on the KYC assessment panel.

If you want to save your progress and complete the assessment later, select Save & exit.
