Occurrence

  • Every AML rule is a logical statement that describes a certain violation
  • Each time such a single violation is found, the system considers this as an occurrence

Recurrence

  • Number of occurrences of the monitored scenario over a specified period
  • Most rules trigger an alert with only one occurrence of a violation
  • Some rules trigger an alert only if a number of occurrences appeared within a specified look-back period (recurrence period)
    • For example: 3 occurrence over last 14 days
  • Typically the number of occurrences affects the score
