Less manual work in anti-money laundering prevention
For law firms, tax advisers and other obliged entities under the German Anti-Money Laundering Act, a clean KYC or KYB process often begins with a simple but time-intensive task: client data has to be transferred fully and correctly into a compliance system.
This is exactly where Regpit’s DATEV integration comes in. The interface allows client data from DATEV to be imported into Regpit securely and conveniently. This enables case files to be created faster, reduces manual data entry and makes more efficient use of existing data for AML review processes.
In this context, Regpit acts as an interface provider and enables a technical integration that allows data to be imported fully automatically from DATEV into the Regpit platform.
What the DATEV integration in Regpit enables
With the integration, client data can be imported directly from DATEV into Regpit. The import particularly supports law firms and tax advisory professionals in transferring existing client information into digital anti-money laundering prevention processes more easily.
Specifically, this means:
Client data does not need to be created manually again.
Instead of manually transferring information from existing systems, relevant data can be imported and used for further processing in Regpit.
Case files can be created faster.
The import makes it easier to create new review processes and reduces recurring administrative steps.
AML processes are prepared more efficiently.
After import, the other Regpit features can be used, such as digital identification procedures, automated register retrievals, PEP and sanctions screenings, risk assessments and ongoing monitoring.
Secure login via the DATEV account
For the import, users log in with their DATEV account. After login, the session is valid for a limited period. This keeps access controlled and traceable.
Authorisations continue to be managed within the DATEV environment. DATEV explains in its help section on “Connected Applications” that permissions for applications can be revoked. If such permission is revoked, the respective application can no longer transfer data automatically, and users must authenticate themselves again before sending data again.
This means firms retain control over which applications are connected to DATEV and which access rights are in place.
Why this is relevant for firms
In law firms in particular, compliance workload often arises where data already exists but has not yet been transferred into the AML process in a structured way. Client master data is available in the firm’s system, but for GwG checks it often has to be entered, reviewed and documented again.
Regpit’s DATEV integration reduces these system breaks.
This is especially relevant when many matters need to be reviewed in parallel, new clients need to be made ready for onboarding, or existing case files need to be updated efficiently. Less manual data entry not only saves time, but also reduces sources of error when transferring sensitive information.
From client creation to a digital AML process
The import from DATEV is the starting point for an end-to-end digital workflow. Once the client data has been imported, further steps can be initiated in Regpit, for example:
Identification of natural persons or beneficial owners, KYB checks, register checks, PEP and sanctions screenings, risk classifications, documentation of due diligence obligations and ongoing monitoring.
This turns existing client data into a structured case file that can be used for GwG checks.
Interface instead of isolated solution
The DATEV integration fits Regpit’s modular approach. The platform is not designed to unnecessarily replace existing workflows, but to complement them in a meaningful way. Where data already exists, it should be possible to reuse it securely and efficiently.
Regpit sees itself as an interface provider for digital compliance processes. The aim is to connect existing systems with a specialised GwG (German Anti-Money Laundering Act) platform, thereby reducing workload, sources of error and system breaks.
Conclusion: greater efficiency in client due diligence
Regpit’s DATEV integration makes it easier to get started with digital KYC and KYB processes. Client data can be imported securely, case files can be created faster and GwG checks can be prepared more efficiently.
For law firms, tax advisers and regulated companies, this means less manual work, greater process reliability and a better foundation for legally compliant anti-money laundering prevention.
