As regulatory stakes grow higher, so does the need for reliable, comprehensive data when evaluating risk. Enter: the Moody’s Entity Verification API. In a single source, this powerful tool layers curated data on over 525 million global companies along with real-time entity information from primary sources. Here to share more on the making of this tool and its value in a compliance program are Johanna Konrad, Moody’s Compliance & third-party risk Managing Director of Product Management, and Jon Hanmer, Moody’s Sales Senior Director. Joining host, Alex Pillow, they discussed: how direct customer feedback shaped what the Entity Verification API delivers; how the solution benefits stakeholders in different sectors; why strong entity verification lays the groundwork for a “golden record,” and why that matters; and the enablement of practitioners to monitor entities in a perpetual KYC (pKYC) program.
