• Maintain an ongoing awareness of emerging regulatory changes and industry trends, proactively assessing their impact on onboarding processes and recommending procedural updates.
• Participate in and coordinate responses for internal and external inspections relating to onboarding and the related AML / CFT / CPF and sanctions compliance.
