Format of names on your screening template being submitted for screening:

Formatting of staff and vendor names on your screening template:

To support accuracy and speed of screening, all names submitted for screening a few format rules were implemented:

1. Hyphenation of staff names: Compound names of staff that are usually written/typed with a space must be hyphenated.
2. Only corporate entity names should be screened. Acronyms are not applicable as a best practice.
3. Separation of multiple name variations for entities: Do not include any internal entity identifiers from your HRIS or finance records while screening entities.

• • It is common for organizations to include location or other internal data with entity names, and we ask that you remove such data prior to screening.
  • The Venops system will scan and find such data and temporarily pause your screening until it is removed.
  • For more information, please refer to the help article on correction guides.

Additional notes about the contents of each screening template, including a few format items Venops will do for you:

1. The alphabetical order of names does not matter. Venops will always alphabetize your list during the investigation & finalization process.
2. As noted on the screening template, middle names are optional. If, however, you have the time to include them please do so. Middle names can be helpful during investigations in certain cases.
3. SSN and DOB format: Venops will accept any SSN or DOB format. The screening template includes guidance on the format of all requested data. Please be sure your SSN data includes leading zeros.
