About Macy Whitesides

I am a financial crimes and risk professional with over five years of experience. I led fraud investigations, AML compliance initiatives, and enterprise risk assessments for large financial institutions. My work centers on identifying financial crime risk, strengthening control environments, and guiding clients through regulatory expectations with clarity.I led complex fraud investigations that identified more than $500K in fraudulent transactions. I executed over 200 transaction monitoring reviews and drove improvements in case quality, documentation accuracy, and regulatory readiness. Through targeted quality reviews and investigator coaching, I increased investigation pass rates and reduced repeat findings.In my role as a Senior Associate, I led enterprise risk assessment deliverables across multiple business units. I documented issues, analyzed root causes, and tracked remediation while presenting findings to senior stakeholders. I directed large investigation teams, including quality reviewers and investigators, to ensure consistent execution of transaction monitoring workflows and client standards.Earlier in my career, I developed leadership and communication skills through customer-facing roles at Regal Sherwin-Williams. These experiences strengthened my ability to influence teams, manage stakeholder expectations, and navigate sensitive fraud and compliance matters.I stay engaged in emerging fraud trends and regulatory developments. I welcome connections with professionals focused on fraud prevention, AML compliance, and risk management.
