Financial Crime Compliance Officer at Aetram Finserv LLC who proposed AML/CFT inspection remediation accepted by the regulator.

India
Message

At Aetram Finserv LLC, I conducted risk-based AML/KYC due diligence and account reviews for individual and business customers. I proposed remediation for AML/CFT control gaps identified during a regulatory inspection; management approved the proposals, and the regulator formally accepted them.

At Protiviti, I supported AML remediation and periodic reviews for cross-border lending-platform investments, including personally reviewing 40 medium- and high-risk entities. I assessed ownership structures, economic rationale and fund flows, and referred identified concerns for further investigation.

For Circle Internet Financial through FutureSoft India / PwC Acceleration Center, I reviewed KYC cases and crypto-related transactions, using Chainalysis and Elliptic to trace fund movements and wallet links. I identified gaps in transaction trails, including cross-chain activity and peer-to-peer transfers, and escalated findings for further review.

At NatWest Group, I worked across financial crime quality control, transaction monitoring and fraud investigations. I reviewed KYC files and SAR escalation decisions, prepared SAR cases in Actimize ActOne for the onshore team, and contributed to a Business Requirements Document for transaction-monitoring automation that the technical team implemented.
