Users & Key Personnel — Personnel Due Diligence
Personnel Due Diligence Tab
A new Personnel Due Diligence tab in Firm > Users > [Edit user], alongside the existing Details and Training tabs. This is where a Compliance Officer manages PDD assessments for each person in the firm.
Key capabilities:
- View all PDD assessment history for the person in reverse chronological order
- Set and edit the Next Review Date for the person's PDD cycle
- Start a new PDD assessment via the guided wizard
- Upload an existing PDD document with outcome and metadata
- View or delete in-progress records; view completed records (read-only)
PDD status indicator (shown in the user header):
| Status | Condition |
|---|---|
| Not Started | No PDD assessments on record |
| In Progress | The latest assessment is in progress |
| Completed | The latest assessment is Suitable or Not Suitable |
| Review Due | Next Review Date is within 30 days or overdue — takes precedence over all other statuses |
Each record shows: purpose of PDD, date of assessment, assessed by, and outcome (In Progress / Suitable / Not Suitable).
Personnel Due Diligence Wizard
A guided wizard for conducting and documenting a PDD assessment. Selecting Start PDD from the Personnel Due Diligence tab opens the wizard.
The wizard captures the purpose of the assessment, assessor details, assessment date, findings, and outcome (Suitable or Not Suitable), with the ability to save progress at any point. A completed assessment can be viewed read-only at any time.
Users & Key Personnel Improvements for PDD
Updates to the Users & Key Personnel screen to support the PDD workflow — including PDD status visibility in the user list and improvements to the user header. Specification in development.
Clients — CDD & Group Workflows
CDD Workflow — Entity
The Initial Customer Due Diligence workflow for individual client entities. Once a client's onboarding is approved and their status is Ready for Initial CDD, this workflow guides the Compliance Officer through identity verification, risk assessment, beneficial ownership review, screening, and approval — producing a complete CDD record for AUSTRAC compliance. Supports all eight entity types with type-specific steps and screening requirements.
Add Group Entities
A dedicated wizard for creating Client Group records — launched from the + Add New Client button on the Clients screen by selecting the Client Group type. Allows you to establish a group structure and assign member entities in a single workflow.
Wizard steps:
| # | Step |
|---|---|
| 1 | Group Details — enter group name, colour (for badge display), assigned relationship manager, and optional description |
| 2 | Add Members — search and select existing clients or groups, or create new client records inline. Nested groups are supported; circular membership is prevented automatically. |
| 3 | Review & Save — review group details and member list, with a preview of the group's derived CDD status and risk rating before saving |
Once saved, the group appears as a row on the Clients screen. CDD is initiated per member from the Clients screen or the group entity page.
View Group
A dedicated group entity page showing all member entities, their individual CDD status, risk ratings, and renewal dates. Provides a consolidated view of the group's compliance position and allows CDD to be initiated for individual members directly. Specification in development.
