Candid GuideStar vs. Dow Jones Risk & Compliance

It is just my go-to for any information I need on a potential client as I work in the non-profit consulting space and need to better understand my prospects. As a former nonprofit exec, I valued what we could share on the site as a gold seal for others to learn about our worthiness to invest.

It is particularly well-suited for financial institutions and other organizations in heavily regulated industries, such as banks and money service businesses that need to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) regulations, as well as organizations with a high volume of transactions. The product offers features such as watchlist screening, real-time monitoring, intelligence and research, automated workflows, reporting and visualization and easy integration with other systems. However, it may not be the best fit for smaller organizations with a lower risk profile or limited budget, or organizations with relatively simple compliance requirements
