Andrew Fernandes

I am a results-driven Financial Crime specialist with a proven track record in detecting and preventing financial fraud. My expertise in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), and compliance has been demonstrated through successful management of high-stakes investigations and the implementation of effective risk mitigation strategies. I possess strong analytical skills and have a deep understanding of regulatory requirements, which has enabled me to prepare and quality assure Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and lead teams in fostering a collaborative and high-performing environment.

Throughout my career, I have successfully conducted sanctions screening and investigations, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations while mitigating potential financial and reputational risks. My ability to communicate effectively with both internal and external stakeholders has led to successful regulatory liaisons and the closure of significant reviews. I am committed to upholding the highest integrity and regulatory standards, continuously enhancing fraud detection systems, and contributing to the development of management information reports that provide key insights into operational performance and risk management effectiveness.
