Private lenders run the wire-approval framework on two primary frameworks — the single-control framework and the dual-control framework. The choice runs against the lender’s wire-fraud discipline, the lender’s operational framework, and the lender’s insurance framework. This article walks the side-by-side framework against each.

Single-control framework

The single-control framework runs the wire-initiation and wire-approval framework against a single role on the framework. The framework runs no second-set-of-eyes discipline against the wire amount, the recipient framework, or the wire-instruction reference on each wire. The framework runs the wire-approval discipline on a single-point-of-failure framework against the fraudster’s business-email-compromise framework.

Dual-control framework

The dual-control framework runs the wire-initiation framework against one role and runs the wire-approval framework against a separate role on each wire. The framework runs the second-set-of-eyes discipline against the wire amount, the recipient framework, the wire-instruction reference, and the verification-documentation framework on each wire. The framework runs the wire-approval discipline on a segregation-of-duties framework against the wire-fraud framework.

Risk framework

The single-control framework runs the wire-fraud risk framework on a thin discipline — the fraudster runs the business-email-compromise framework against a single approval framework on the wire. The dual-control framework runs the wire-fraud risk framework on a layered discipline — the fraudster runs the business-email-compromise framework against two approval frameworks on the wire. The dual-control framework runs the wire-fraud risk framework on a lower-loss framework against the lender.

Operational framework

The single-control framework runs the wire-approval framework on a faster cycle against the wire-amount framework. The dual-control framework runs the wire-approval framework on a slower cycle against the wire-amount framework — the second-set-of-eyes framework runs an additional review cycle on each wire. The lender runs the cycle framework against the lender’s wire-volume framework on the standard.

Insurance framework

The cyber-liability and crime-bond carrier framework runs the underwriting framework against the lender’s wire-approval framework. The carrier framework runs the dual-control framework on a preferred-underwriting framework against the lender on the social-engineering-fraud and funds-transfer-fraud endorsement framework. The lender that runs the dual-control framework runs the preferred-coverage framework against the carrier on the renewal cycle.

Choosing the framework

The dual-control framework runs the wire-fraud discipline against the lender’s wire-volume framework on the standard. The lender that runs a wire-amount threshold framework runs the dual-control framework against each wire above the threshold on the framework. The lender that runs no wire-amount threshold framework runs the dual-control framework against each wire on the framework. The dual-control framework runs the lender’s wire-fraud discipline on the standard.
