You will also record detailed investigation steps and provide clear justification for conclusions and decisions while citing underlying sources, you will also deliver prompt and accurate support to relevant Firm groups and stakeholders on findings generated by the restricted party screening system with minimal oversight.
The role involves also developing, tracking, and analyzing key performance indicators (KPIs) related to restricted party screening activities, providing regular reporting to management and stakeholders.
