SAS® Anti-Money Laundering 2024.09
Accessibility Conformance Report- Revision Date: December 03, 2024
- Contact: accessibility@sas.com
- VPAT version: 2.5
SAS® Anti-Money Laundering (hereafter ‘the software’) is designed to detect potentially suspicious activity in order to help institutions comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) regulations. The software enables analysts and investigators to perform all the necessary steps to investigate and document suspicious activity from a single point of entry.
These extend the functionality of SAS® Visual Investigator. This VPAT covers the accessibility of these additional components. It does not cover any aspects of the base version of SAS Visual Investigator. For more information on accessibility of SAS® Visual Investigator, see the SAS® Visual Investigator VPAT.
For information regarding the accessibility features of the software, see SAS® Anti-Money Laundering: Accessibility Features.
