Ethics and Compliance, Financial Crimes Senior Associate

Join our Core Business Services (CBS) team and you will help support the important business enablement functions that keep our organization running strong. Our Risk Management team enables responsible growth through close collaboration with the business to protect EY from the risks that arise from its professional practice as well as regulatory requirements. The team works with the business to identify, monitor, and manage EY's risk.

​ The opportunity * *

As an Ethics and Compliance Senior Associate within the Financial Crimes team, you will contribute to multiple processes within the areas of Financial Crimes related to regulatory compliance. To achieve this, you will develop knowledge in the related areas of Financial Crimes to help identify and mitigate risk in client and vendor relationships. You will be a part of the Financial Crimes team but will often work with other Ethics and Compliance areas, functional areas within the business and engagement teams.

You will be asked to interpret policies and procedures, determine required actions, and make recommendations based on Firm guidance and your own experience. In addition, you will analyze issues and document diligence and conclusions to help meet the demands of external regulators. This role will involve dealing with complex, non-standard issues that arise on a frequent basis.

You will assist the team in identifying possible regulatory non-compliance and elevated risk within the Financial Crimes areas of the business. You will do this by running data tests and creating reports to analyze transaction data to identify risk indicators and trends. You will work with the Monitoring Center of Excellence within Ethics and Compliance to plan, develop and enhance current monitoring programs for Financial Crimes, as well as create new monitoring programs as new risks emerge.

In this role, you will be asked to use your subject matter knowledge within Financial Crimes to execute effective compliance monitoring and assist your team in advising professionals across a range of service lines, industry sectors and geographic areas. You will also be expected to recommend modifications and enhancements to processes to continue to support the Firm priorities and needs.

You will work both as part of a team and independently, with regular feedback and assistance provided as needed.
