VIS4AUI: VISUAL ANALYSIS OF BANKING ACTIVITY NETWORKS

Abstract

We present the system VIS4AUI, aimed at supporting the analyst to discover financial crimes related to money laundering. An anti-money laundering archive collects financial information with regard to ongoing bank relationships and high value transactions. VIS4AUI is able to import and analyze the Italian anti-money laundering archive (AUI) in order to visualize the banking activity networks arising from it. In the demonstration, the user will be given an evidence of a possible suspicious person or company; starting from such a seed entity, the task will be that of exploring and analyzing her network of transactions through the tools provided by the system. In order to immerse the user in a fully interactive experience, VIS4AUI is a touch-optimized application, only requiring a touchscreen as interface.
