IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Citibank, I work in the EMEA Trade Governance Audit & Control Team, conducting control testing and coordinating audit documentation; this resulted in zero audit observations. I also led Trade function FATCA reporting, including annual 1042 reporting for 2017 and 2018, and developed a monthly MT100 reporting mechanism.
Previously, I reviewed AML alerts at Standard Chartered Business Services and worked in Trade Finance at RBS Business Services Enterprises Pvt.
