Sachini Kappagoda

I am a detail-oriented Senior Compliance Executive with a First Class Honours Bachelor’s degree in Banking & Finance and hands-on experience in KYC, AML, and financial crime risk management. I specialize in due diligence, transaction monitoring, suspicious activity reporting, and regulatory compliance.

At the London Stock Exchange Group I conducted compliance risk assessments, investigated AML alerts, used screening tools including World-Check One, and collaborated with relationship managers to ensure smooth client onboarding and ongoing monitoring. I also trained new joiners on KYC processes and helped promote a culture of compliance.

In my role as an Intern in Compliance at People’s Bank I monitored client transactions, escalated suspicious activity, and prepared timely reports for the Financial Intelligence Unit, gaining exposure to local regulatory requirements and practical AML tool usage. I have been recognized academically with a Best Dissertation Award and maintained strong teamwork and analytical capabilities.

I bring disciplined time management, effective communication, and a commitment to accurate documentation and continuous improvement. I seek to leverage my technical screening skills and regulatory knowledge to strengthen compliance programs and reduce financial crime risk.
