About the Role
The AML Investigations Support Team (AMLIST) plays an important role within RBC’s AML FIU by planning, conducting, and completing risk-based investigations into escalated matters. The team gathers, analyzes, and evaluates information to determine if there is sufficient suspicion of money laundering, financing of terrorism, or other criminal activities to justify reporting to the Regulatory Authority, thereby complying with legislative/regulatory requirements and mitigating risk to RBC.
Responsibilities

- Participate in the continued mop-up of the Assisted STR filing workflows, including the establishment of the subsequent RFI and network analysis processes.
- Gather information/intelligence from all available sources to determine whether sufficient suspicion of money laundering, financing of terrorism or other criminal activities exists.
- Ensure all appropriate steps are taken as part of the investigation, including presenting clients for risk review if outside of RBC’s risk appetite, and completing referrals to other groups within RBC’s Financial Crimes such as Global Economic Sanctions and Major Financial Crimes.
- Ensure cases contain sufficient documentation and rationale for escalation or closure to support initial triage of the activity and mitigate risk to RBC.
