# Detekta Documentation

> Detekta is an AML/CTF monitoring and verification platform. This site holds the data
> specifications a client needs in order to bring their client base and transaction
> history into Detekta.

## Data intake

- [Data specification](/intake): Field definitions for the three files required to onboard a
  client base and transaction history. Covers the mandatory minimum, conditional
  requirements, the per-role verification matrix, accepted values, and downloadable CSV
  templates.

## The three files

1. `1a_clients.csv` — one row per client entity (company, individual, trust, partnership, SMSF).
   Nine mandatory columns: client_ref, entity_type, legal_name, email, country, abn,
   relationship_start_date, client_status, and trust_type where the entity is a trust or SMSF.
2. `1b_client_persons.csv` — one row per person attached to an entity. Four mandatory columns:
   client_ref, person_ref, role, full_name. Plus email for anyone requiring verification.
3. `2_transactions.csv` — one row per money movement. Nine mandatory columns: client_ref,
   transaction_ref, occurred_at, amount, currency, direction, description, counterparty_name,
   account_name.

## Conventions

- Amounts are always positive; `direction` (money_in / money_out) carries the sign.
- Dates are YYYY-MM-DD; timestamps are ISO 8601 with timezone.
- `client_ref` (example values `client-0001`, `client-0002`) is the client's own identifier and must be unique and stable; it joins all three files.
- Detekta determines PEP status, sanctions exposure and risk rating by screening. Clients are
  not asked to declare them.
