Feb 2022 - Apr 2022
As a Chief Expert I was engaged in tasks connected to Sanctions Compliance: from the review of payments with potential sanctions nexus to the management of sanctions lists (OFAC, EU, OFSI HM Treasury), conduction of investigations regarding application of 50% Rule (or its UK, EU variations), fine-tuning of alert generation rules for transaction screening. ● Improved quality of investigations regarding ownership and control by sanctioned entities. Expanded knowledge of colleagues about the software Bank used in the investigations (I participated in development of this product on my previous place of work); explained nuances of working with other sources of information; listed differences between the USA, UK and EU approaches regarding ownership and control ● Introduced tools to automate routine processes ● Worked on the alert generation tool in order to lower the amount of false positive alerts by utilising complex “unmatching rules” and by enhancing formats of imported sanctions lists in order to provide more relevant alert scores (surnames of individuals) Show less
