Alexandria Gangiah
@alexandriagangiah
I’m an entry-level compliance professional focused on AML and KYC within financial services.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a highly motivated, goal-oriented compliance professional committed to building a career in regulatory compliance, particularly Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML). I hold a Diploma in Policing from UNISA and I’m completing my Bachelor of Arts in Criminology, which strengthens my analytical and investigative foundation for financial crime prevention.
In my roles at Heriot REIT, I supported day-to-day compliance and financial administration by processing supplier information on EFTsure, verifying B-BBEE certificates and affidavits, and assisting with annual compliance processes and audit support through document collation and verification. I also supported ABSA KYC processes for property transfers and followed FICA and KYC protocols, while maintaining compliance records and tracking regulatory updates to ensure practices stay current. I bring meticulous attention to detail, a disciplined work ethic, and a strong analytical mindset to every compliance task.
