• Determine potential sanctions/internal lists or adverse media alerts match through data/information analysis, historical transaction records, or collection of additional information;
• Perform research on Parties subject of screening or review to identify and analyze sanctions nexus;
• Work closely with other internal stakeholders in the process of obtaining additional KYC documentation of Parties being screened/investigated to ensure adherence to policies, procedures and regulatory obligations and when needed, liaise with customers/clients to gather KYC documentation/information;
