Senior KYC/AML Analyst

Real portfolio pieces built during the course, not a certificate for its own sake. Each one is work you can show.

• Casework decision logEvery decision from the eight days on one page: what was raised and by whom, what was decided and under which tier of authority, the reasoning in terms somebody could disagree with, and one line saying what would change the answer. Carries the possible match sent upward rather than cleared alone, the recommendation held under pushback, and the row you would draft differently now.
• Alert quality reviewA closed alert traced through the five links an examiner would use: how it was identified, how it was triaged, the filing decision and its rationale, filing mechanics if filed, and whether continuing activity was scheduled for re-review. Names the link that actually broke, quoting the record rather than describing a general impression.
• SAR narrative critiqueTwo draft SAR style narratives graded against the who, what, when, where, why and method of operation standard: one missing a stated baseline, one missing any record of the investigation behind its recommendation. Names the specific missing element rather than a general impression, and states what each would need to hold up on its own.
• Ownership and sanctions judgement memoTwo judgement calls from the same week: tracing a legal entity customer's ownership through a holding company to the individuals behind it, and resolving a sanctions possible match that cleared an automated screen but not the surrounding facts. States the two prong ownership test applied, and the specific facts that called a clean screening result back into question.
