@lysauser
Compliance Officer specializing in financial crime, KYC, AML investigations, and risk assessments to improve operational performance.
What I'm looking for
I’m an accomplished compliance professional with experience in financial crime and demonstrable knowledge of compliance, KYC analysis, due diligence, AML, and low, medium and high risk KYC files.
I conduct detailed transactional surveillance and investigations in line with regulatory requirements—performing regular monitoring, escalating PEP-related accounts, and managing multi-jurisdictional assessments to identify unusual activity. I collate, analyse and interpret data for suspicious activity reports (SAR), and I take pride in quality control and accurate documentation.
I’ve also built strong risk and process discipline through audits and ongoing reviews: assessing key business activities, anticipating emerging issues through research and investigations, and developing action plans to address findings. I’m recognised as a Subject Matter Expert and trusted advisor for handling high-risk accounts and ensuring KYC/EODD is up to date.
Alongside compliance, I bring operational clarity from work supporting customer communications and service—reviewing complex inputs, advising on best course of action, and continuously identifying inefficiencies to suggest solutions. I’m now seeking new challenges where my core transferable expertise can enhance operational performance.
