WORK HISTORY
Senior Associate @PwC
Karnataka, IN
I am currently working as L2 Quality Checker and SME as a part of Order Management team responsible for performing the review for all potential matches (aka “Alerts”) in LexisNexis Bridger (Sanctions Screening Case Management System). Potential matches are required to be manually reviewed in order to determine if the alerting customer is on the identified sanctions watchlist. Job responsibility includes comparing the customer against the entity on the sanctions watchlist to determine if the customer could be a match to the entity. Customers that are deemed not a match are cleared. Customers that cannot be cleared with the data at hand or through research processes (LexisNexis AML Insight) are escalated to a compliance manager for additional verification.
