·       Regulatory Compliance: Stay updated on applicable AML, CTF, and KYC regulations and guidelines. Ensure adherence to regulatory requirements, internal policies, and industry best practices in all KYC processes.

·       Reporting and Record-Keeping: Document findings, decisions, and investigations in a clear and organized manner. Prepare reports and maintain accurate records of KYC activities for audit and regulatory purposes.

·       Training and Awareness: Support and participate in training programs to educate employees on KYC policies, procedures, and emerging trends in financial crime.
