CHINONSO MICHAEL ABARAONYE

I've spent eight years at Access Bank Plc managing banking operations, operational controls, transaction processing, and risk-management procedures in a regulated financial-services environment.

I review customer and transaction activity for unusual patterns, fraud indicators, and control weaknesses; support disputed-transaction and fraud investigations; and provide operational evidence for audit and control reviews. My work applies KYC, CDD, EDD, transaction analysis, and structured escalation to financial-crime risk.

Through simulated and anonymised portfolio investigations, I've analysed suspicious transfers, card and payment fraud, and suspected employee-customer collusion. I build transaction timelines, conduct link analysis, correlate digital evidence with financial activity, and produce evidence-based investigative narratives.

I'm a Certified Fraud Examiner with an MSc in Computer Security & Digital Forensics, supported by cybersecurity certifications including CASP+, CySA+, and Security+. My research examines digital forensics and cybersecurity in transnational financial crime in Nigeria.
