• Provide guidance, feedback and training to investigators and STR/SAR makers to continuously improve investigation and reporting quality.
• Work closely with MLROs, AML Operations, Transaction Monitoring and other Compliance teams on emerging typologies, control gaps and remediation.
• Support regulatory enquiries, audits and reviews relating to investigations and suspicious transaction reporting.
