• Escalate or terminate counterparty relationships when risk or adverse findings are identified.
• Continuously monitor counterparties for regulatory actions, sanctions, negative news, and identification of politically exposed persons (PEPs), responding promptly to new risk indicators.
• Maintain comprehensive and organized records of all due diligence activities, risk assessments, completed questionnaires, and supporting documentation for audit and regulatory purposes.
• Collaborate closely with Compliance, MLRO, and QA teams to ensure all counterparty risk processes and KYC responses align with regulatory requirements and internal quality standards.
