• Engage directly with customers when necessary to clarify ownership details, business activities, or to request updated documentation.

• Make sound, risk-based decisions based on updated information, providing clear and documented rationale for all review outcomes.

• Collaborate with the wider FinCrime team to share insights on emerging trends and contribute to the enhancement of ongoing review processes.
