• Assist with senior-management and committee reporting on AML risk, regulatory developments, significant issues, remediation initiatives, and program effectiveness while maintaining clear documentation of the firm’s AML governance and oversight framework.
• Coordinate and support AML-related regulatory examinations, internal audits, independent testing, compliance reviews, and regulatory information requests, ensuring responses and supporting documentation are complete and appropriately supported.
• Provide oversight of third parties performing AML/KYC activities, including developing risk-based due diligence, monitoring, and testing standards and assessing policies, controls, staffing, systems, screening practices, escalation processes, and regulatory adherence.
• Escalate material third-party or program deficiencies and oversee corrective-action and remediation plans in coordination with relevant Compliance, Operations, Legal, Technology, and business stakeholders.
• Support the development and delivery of risk-based AML/CFT training and targeted guidance on regulatory expectations, emerging financial-crime risks, escalation requirements, and AML red flags to promote consistent application of AML standards across U.S. businesses.
