  • Prepare comprehensive and well-documented investigation reports with clear rationale and conclusions.

Suspicious Activity Assessment

  • Support regulatory reporting and responses to law enforcement, regulatory, and internal stakeholder requests.

Case Review & Quality Oversight

  • Review investigator assessments and provide challenge, guidance, and quality oversight where required.
  • Ensure investigations are completed in line with regulatory expectations, internal policies, and audit requirements.
  • Promote consistency and quality across case handling and documentation standards.

  • Contribute to the enhancement of transaction monitoring rules, investigation procedures, and AML controls.
  • Support internal audits, regulatory inspections, compliance reviews, and remediation activities.
  • Assist in preparing management information, investigation metrics, and reporting packs.

Requirements

Experience and Qualifications
