Advait Kolhatkar

I am a financial crime analyst with over three years of hands-on experience in AML, KYC/CDD/EDD reviews, sanctions and PEP screening, and adverse media investigations. I combine analytical rigor with intuitive thinking to resolve escalated alerts, prepare SARs/STRs, and ensure regulatory compliance.

At Accenture I led a False Positive Reduction project as the sole investigator, provided daily reporting to the onshore CAMLO and AML manager, and consistently delivered high-quality outputs that met SLAs. I was promoted to Level 2 Compliance Analyst after demonstrating proficiency in in-depth reviews, open-source investigations, and preparing complex submissions to the FIU.

I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) from MIT-WPU (Pune) and emphasize process improvement, thorough documentation, and timely escalation. I am curious, diligent, and committed to improving risk management and compliance operations to drive better outcomes for stakeholders.
