# AML

The AML Step enhances security and compliance by monitoring user profiles for potential money laundering activities. Users have the option to enable or disable ongoing monitoring as needed.

* Add `AML check` step into the flow canvas at the appropriate position in the flow.
* Click on `AML check` to open its configuration options.
* Toggle on or off the `ongoing monitoring feature`.
* Set the periodicity for ongoing monitoring (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly).
* Take `data from questionnaire` - a checkbox that allows the system to reuse data collected earlier in the flow via a questionnaire. When selected, relevant user-provided data is automatically populated into this verification step.
* `Verification validity period` - defines how long the **verification result** remains valid after it has been successfully completed. Once the validity period expires, the user must complete the verification step again.

The AML step operates seamlessly in the background without requiring any actions from the end user. It conducts ongoing monitoring autonomously to enhance security and compliance.
