Upon noteworthy performance and growth, I was promoted to the role of AML Compliance Analyst II. In addition to my duties in my previous role, I took on additional responsibilities. My application of logic, reasoning, and sound decision-making provided me insight to better recommend and execute over 3,000 SAR filings. I conducted over 200 individual Quality Assurance (QA) reviews for incoming case analysts to ensure the quality and production standards were both met and surpassed. The extent of my knowledge and experience expanded to identifying and researching patterns, trends, and anomalies in complex transactional customer data, which allowed me to detect, report, and assist in preventing potential suspicious activity as it related to alert typologies. I ensured that my work product and output exceeded quality and production expectations while contributing to the development of individual and project goals. Some of my daily responsibilities were:

• Conducting complex case investigations, performing Customer Due Diligence (CDD) reviews, and drafting Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs)

Due to my affinity for quality and my natural orientation to detail, I made a transition into the financial services sector as an AML Compliance Analyst I. The role of the compliance analyst is essential to any company, as it relates to ethics, checks and balances, and overall company efficacy. My primary responsibility was to identify potentially suspicious activity within the clients’ system through triggered alerts and escalated investigations. Within my research process, my ability to thoroughly review, analyze, and organize data helped me to determine whether AML risks were present and how to address them. My range of daily tasks were all essential to maintaining a superior level of quality and work product. My contributions as an analyst included:

• Examining complex alerts and other data to write comprehensive supporting investigative narratives and Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) to the benefit of law enforcement

• Analyzing 20 to 35 account transaction histories weekly to identify potential money laundering typologies and other unusual or potentially suspicious behavior
