As a special projects manager I am tasked with multiple financial fraud and due diligence investigations ranging from insurance fraud to complex cross-border financial fraud investigations. Using multiple sources and methods we analyze large volumes of data; preparing comprehensive reports, assisting clients and stakeholders in making crucial business decisions by identifying risks and threats that can adversely impact business operations.

My role as a Senior KYC associate included extensive research into bank clients in order to identify potential risks for NAB related to money laundering, corruption, bribery, and CTF. By analyzing client data, I was also able to conduct adverse media checks for any potential criminal activities, politically exposed persons, and any banking affiliations with sanctioned countries from grey and black jurisdictions around the world. This data intelligence was used to better understand the information collected which allowed NAB to improve their products and services. Proprietary platforms I have used to conduct some of these checks include Fenegro, World Check and Sayari. Additionally, I was responsible for coordinating with team members and reviewing KYC processes to ensure all protocols were followed.
