Background

Investigative Reporting is one of four investigative teams within FCI (Financial Crime Investigation). It is responsible for high volume investigations, including cases generated under automated transaction monitoring procedures, true match cases generated from name screening alerts, referrals from Fraud Operations, as well as cases resulting from Financial Crime – Unusual Activity Reporting (FC-UARs), production/court orders and other referrals where FCI Triage has assessed that the case is appropriate for referral to Investigative Reporting.  Transaction monitoring generated cases includes Dynamic Risk Assessment (DRA) cases, where implemented, or scheduled to be implemented as well as classic transaction monitoring cases.

Investigative Reporting prepares reports or appropriate closing summaries for all investigations conducted and prepares and files ‘suspicious transaction reports (STRs) on such investigations, where warranted. Investigative Reporting is responsible for ensuring that findings of financial crime risk are shared with relevant risk owners and/or risk stewards for investigations conducted by Investigative Reporting and making any cross border referrals to other Investigative Reporting teams, where appropriate.  Designated team members or points of contact located in-market are responsible for final decisioning, in coordination with the MLRO and filing of STRs.

Role Overview

The Investigator role is responsible for conducting financial crime investigations, in accordance with the Investigative Reporting Instructions, to assess where potential financial crime risk is present, assess appropriate referrals for action, as well as referral of the case, if warranted, to designated Investigators for regulatory filing decisions and filing. The Investigator in this role will generally work on cases (DRA or non-DRA)
