Background

Investigative Reporting is one of four investigative teams within FCI (Financial Crime Investigation).

Investigative Reporting prepares reports or appropriate closing summaries for all investigations conducted and prepares and files ‘suspicious transaction reports (STRs) on such investigations, where warranted. Investigative Reporting is responsible for ensuring that findings of financial crime risk are shared with relevant risk owners and/or risk stewards for investigations conducted by Investigative Reporting and making any cross border referrals to other Investigative Reporting teams, where appropriate.  Designated team members or points of contact located in-market are responsible for final decisioning, in coordination with the MLRO and filing of STRs.
