Patience Phatsimo Mokwena

I am a results-driven Risk and Compliance Officer with over two years' hands-on experience implementing Enterprise Risk Management and fostering a strong compliance culture within the banking sector. I bring proven technical knowledge in risk assessment, regulatory compliance (AML, KYC), internal controls, and incident reporting.

At National Development Bank I identified, controlled, monitored, and reported organizational risks, prepared Enhanced Due Diligence reports for high-risk customers, compiled Executive Risk Forum packs, responded to regulatory requests, and supported disaster recovery and business continuity activities. I have also conducted staff training on risk management practices and aligned policies with evolving regulatory frameworks.

With a BSc (Hons) in Finance and certificates in KYC and Risk Management, I combine analytical rigor, strong interpersonal skills, and a customer-oriented mindset to align business objectives with compliance requirements and drive measurable improvements in control environments.
