Obligation Mapping

Most compliance tools work at the rule level — one checkbox per section. AuditDSS decomposes every rule into its atomic obligations: the smallest units that can be independently violated, tested, and enforced. Across 320 regulations and 21 jurisdictions.

Atomic obligations

Rules are not obligations

A single regulatory rule often contains multiple obligations, conditions, thresholds, and exceptions. Traditional tools treat each rule as one item. AuditDSS treats each testable proposition as its own node in a structured graph.

Rule-level matching

12,278 checkboxes. Binary pass/fail. No granularity.

Obligation-level mapping

146,445 testable propositions. Conditions, gates, and dependencies modelled. 11x more granular.

Example: Rule 15.3 (AML/CTF Act)

Ongoing customer due diligence

Original rule text: 127 words, 3 sub-sections

decomposes into
violable

Reporting entity must monitor transactions for consistency with risk profile

condition

Monitoring must be proportionate to ML/TF risk

violable

Must update CDD when trigger events occur

violable

Must identify and verify beneficial owners on ongoing basis

gate

Applies only to reporting entities that provide designated services

What makes our mapping different

Hierarchical structure

Obligations form a tree, not a flat list. Conditions attach to their parent obligations. Gates control access to entire sub-trees. Dependencies flow through the graph.

Typed propositions

Each obligation is classified: violable (can be enforced), condition (qualifies another obligation), gate (controls applicability), definition (provides terminology), or exemption (creates carve-outs).

Dependency edges

Cross-references between obligations are modelled as typed edges: requires, gated_by, exempted_by, defined_by. This enables cascade analysis — a gap in one obligation propagates risk to all dependents.
