**Financial Crime at PA**

Our Financial Crime experts have led some of the most exciting work that the consulting industry has seen in building leading Financial Crime intelligence functions. We have helped global regulators to become more sophisticated and data-driven in their AML/CFT supervision and enforcement as well as supporting the delivery of transaction monitoring engines driven by next-generation technologies.

By blending PA’s rich history in consulting with our technology culture and capabilities, we mix disciplines, deliver faster, iterate smarter and constantly learn — challenging the status quo to seek the best solution for our clients.

As a Fin Crime Consultant, you will be working with our diverse and high performing delivery teams transforming FC risk management frameworks, crafting and implementing technologies across customer onboarding, payment screening and TM. You will also liaise with senior client stakeholders in drafting policy to help to prevent, detect and investigate money laundering, ABC, fraud and market abuse.

**Fin Crime Makes a Difference**

Design and Implementation of Transaction Monitoring solution for a major European payment services provider - PA was appointed by a major international merchant acquirer to design and implement a proportional, risk-based Transaction Monitoring solution in response to regulator criticism. We were engaged to transition to a ML-based system in order to maximise risk mitigation, reduce the risk appetite and mitigate the ‘hard-to-reach’ risks currently unmitigated by the rules-based controls.

The new system went live with 40 new TM controls, a peer profile model, 2 additional transaction data streams and 7 new alert investigators. Our work helped to resolve the regulator's concerns by massively increasing the capacity and scale of AML monitoring for the PSP. 40 new controls were added - each configured to spot different suspicious trends in the transaction data. The transactions from 2 completely new card payment types were added to the monitoring. Seven new alert investigators were hired and trained to work the additional alerts from the new controls.

**Qualifications**:
**About You**

To rise to the challenge this Transaction Monitoring Consultant brings, you will possess specialist experience in this area with a good understanding of Transaction Monitoring processes and systems and have change and transformation capabilities.

- Financial Crime regulations: what are the UK and global regulatory expectations on TM platforms and CDD
- Controls: Understanding how TM platforms identify suspicious activity
