Hi Team,

Can anyone know how to download the dataset from SAS.COM of Anti Money laundering?

I am interested to work on this domain.

Please help me on this.

If you are talking about the datasets that come with the SAS Anti Money Laundering product then they would come as part of  the software download that customers of the product would then install.

It is highly unlikely that these datasets would be available separately as they would be useless and meaningless without the accompanying software. If you are simply researching AML in general then there are plenty of internet resources to read on the subject.

If you would like to work in this area, then getting a job in an industry where AML is a regulatory requirement such as banking, insurance or finance would be the way to go.

It is worth bearing in mind that any company's AML requirements are unique and require a set of customised solutions that may involve products like SAS's, along with many others. Also each country has their own AML laws and regulations so there are different requirements between countries.

Sorry but I don't use SAS AML and the documentation for this is only available to licensed customers:

http://support.sas.com/software/products/aml/index.html#s1=2

I suggest you contact SAS Tech Support if the documentation does not provide what you want.

Sandeep,
The AML doc's are behind walls: SAS Anti-Money Laundering SAS doesn't want to share that even when it could promote the usage as in your case.
The system requirements System Requirements--SAS® Anti-Money Laundering 6.3 and the sample screen shots are giving some idea what is going on.
In that list you see SAS-VA, Data-quality(formerly Data-flux) a metadata-server  SAS/Access and a lot more of the common known SAS BI/DI environment.

For the Desktop you see SMC, Data Integration Studio, Eguide and workflow studio. Integration with Office is mentioned (AMO).

Search for the the things that are not common you see in the midtier. The midtier is normally the webbased approach having the java clients (containers) there.

Those special AML java add-ons is what makes the AML solution on the top of SAS BI/DI and SAS-VA and data-quality.

The Internet is plenty of Datasets related to Money Laundering/Fraud/Terrorist, that are associated activities:

 

You can find a synthetic financial crime dataset on Kaggle:
https://www.kaggle.com/ntnu-testimon/paysim1

You can get bulletins from US Data Repository/FinCen, and then transform it into a text mining problem, and use it to label your original data:
https://catalog.data.gov/dataset?tags=%22money+laundering%22


This Stanford course and respective exercise proposes to detect money laundering from bit coin transactions:
http://web.stanford.edu/class/cs224w/resources.html


A large investigation was conducted by ICIJ that denounced a Web of suspicious companies, then tons of strutucred data is available on:

@Sandeepkumar

SAS AML is a SAS Solution built using various of the SAS Tools. It's SAS IP and comes with its own data model, screens, processes,.... The data loaded into the data model is customer specific.

 

Access to SAS AML documentation requires a license. IF you/your company have licensed SAS AML then @jakarman posted already the link to the documentation and you can request the access key to the docu from SAS TechSupport (or may-be ask the product owner in your company for it).
