• Coordinate compliance training sessions, track attendance and maintain training records.
• Assist with preparation for audits, accreditations and internal file reviews.
• Monitor and support client due diligence, conflict check and anti-money laundering administration.
• Prepare information and reports for the Risk & Compliance Manager and wider risk team.
