• Propose methods of testing and execute plans discussed and agreed with the team (i.e conduct Annual Review)
• Gather data, perform analysis, and document results.
• Evaluate the need for action to eliminate root causes of noncompliance
• Escalate compliance exceptions to management and relevant stakeholders
• Track and closeout detected compliance exceptions, including those arising in the normal course of business outside of the testing process

• Exemplary attention to detail, strong analytical skills, and rigorous judgment
• Bachelor’s Degree
• ACAMS or Series 99/7 is a plus
• CPA is a plus
