My experience as an AML Compliance Officer has been quite interesting.I'm responsible for the implementation of my company's AML policy with focus on the internal systems and the controls my company has put in place to help detect, monitor and report money laundering activities to the authorities. Given the frequent legal implications of AML compliance, it’s vital to have sufficient financial information and authority to ensure I can perform my role and its responsibilities effectively. My role is not only to monitor and handle a variety of sensitive financial data, but must interact with senior management and the board of directors, and with the financial authorities, on a regular basis.My job is to ensure that the company is not exposed to criminal risk, and does not inadvertently facilitate financial crime. This is a very sensitive role just as many other roles in the financial industry.
