## What I'm looking for

```text
I’m looking to grow in a compliance role where I can lead AML/KYC and sanctions screening, strengthen risk-based controls, train teams, and support audits—while continuously improving integrity and regulatory outcomes.
```

## About

```text
I’m a Compliance Senior Analyst where I conduct preliminary KYC and Integrity/Customer Due Diligence on 100+ prospective and existing clients, using Refinitiv World-Check and CRC Credit Bureau. I also screen clients against global sanctions lists (including NigSac, OFAC SDN, UNSC and EU) to mitigate exposure and improve compliance outcomes.

I strengthen controls through a risk-based approach to AML policy review, PEP and State-Owned Entity identification (40+ flags), and coordination of quarterly internal audits across business units. I’m also trusted to build capability—training 80+ employees on AML and Anti-Bribery laws—and to drive meaningful improvements, including spearheading amendments to the Code of Ethics & Business Conduct with safeguarding provisions.
