The $6 Million Question: What Your Credit Workflow Doesn't See (D&B Risk Analytics)

A fireside chat on why credit intelligence and compliance screening belong in the same workflow — and what happens when they converge

Every D&B Finance Analytics customer answers the same question dozens of times a month: should we extend credit to this entity? You answer it with confidence using verified data — the D-U-N-S Number, PAYDEX, credit scores, financial statements, corporate hierarchies.

But there is a second question most teams answer days later, on different systems: should we even be doing business with this entity at all?

Sanctions screening, adverse media, beneficial ownership, KYB. These are the exposures that generate fines and reputational damage when overlooked — and they’re missed because credit and compliance have separate workflows on different platforms.

In one anonymized portfolio, Dun & Bradstreet's agentic credit and risk workflows lifted the bad-debt capture rate from 30% to approximately 38% — more than $6 million in incremental bad debt avoided.

Join Dun & Bradstreet General Managers Alex Zuck and Scott Spencer for a 45-minute fireside chat to see how both questions resolve against one data foundation – and in just one pass.

You’ll see:

• Why credit intelligence alone is no longer sufficient for entity risk management.
• How a single entity flows through credit assessment and compliance screening simultaneously.
• The blind spot that only surfaces when credit and risk data converge.
• How D&B Finance Analytics customers can add D&B Risk Analytics with AI — without increasing headcount or slowing their pipeline.
