• Develop and maintain clear documentation and quality assurance practices by producing standard operating procedures and supporting monitoring, testing, and compliance reviews to ensure consistent, accurate, and effective reporting.

Compliance Support

• Monitor and interpret changes in AML/ATF legislation, FINTRAC guidance, and industry best practices, advising AML leadership on impacts to reporting obligations and operational processes.

Collaboration and Communication

• Collaborate across operations, compliance, risk, legal, technology, operators, regulators (including FINTRAC), and law enforcement to support accurate, timely regulatory reporting and respond to reporting‑related inquiries and investigations.
• Act as a recognized AML/ATF subject matter expert, providing practical guidance internally and contributing to enterprise‑wide and industry‑wide discussions on AML/ATF reporting and controls.
