- Compliance monitoring and reporting: Conduct regular reviews and audits to ensure compliance with AML and CTF regulations. Prepare reports on compliance status, highlighting any areas of concern or improvement, and present findings to senior management and regulatory bodies as required.
- Regulatory engagement: Maintain up-to-date knowledge of AML and CTF regulations, guidance, and industry best practices. Engage with regulatory bodies, such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the NCA, to stay informed about regulatory changes, participate in consultations, and represent the organization's AML interests.
- Recordkeeping and documentation: Ensure accurate and comprehensive recordkeeping of AML activities, including customer identification records, SARs, and transaction monitoring reports. Maintain a centralized database of AML-related documents and provide assistance during internal and external audits.
- Collaboration and coordination: Collaborate with internal stakeholders, including compliance, legal, risk management, and internal audit teams, to implement effective AML controls and foster a culture of compliance across the organization. Provide guidance and support on AML-related matters to various departments.
