About the role
An AML investigations analyst decides whether unusual activity has a reasonable explanation or needs escalation. The panel wants methodical research, balanced judgement, clear case writing and strict confidentiality.
How to prepare
- Revise common transaction patterns, customer risk factors and the difference between an alert and a conclusion.
- Practise building a timeline from customer profile, counterparties and transaction activity.
- Prepare one case where you escalated concern and one where evidence supported closure.
- Rehearse writing a factual conclusion that separates evidence from inference.
Common mistakes
- Assuming unusual activity is automatically criminal.
- Writing a case narrative that lists transactions without explaining the pattern.
- Sharing investigation details with people who do not need to know.
