Lead the biennial program effectiveness review as required under PCMLTFA s.9.6, coordinating with internal stakeholders to assess and evidence program adequacy.
Maintain MSB registration standing and support the CCO operating cadence in partnership with the General Counsel.
Manage the AML compliance documentation suite, ensuring currency and consistency across the document suite, including being audit-ready at all times.
Own Benevity’s FINTRAC examination readiness posture, maintaining a continuous state of preparedness that withstands regulatory scrutiny.
Coordinate remediation evidence development and closure in partnership with our Fraud and Finance teams, ensuring all examination findings are addressed with documented, defensible evidence packages.
Develop and maintain an examination response strategy, including communication and escalation protocols for regulatory engagement events.
Serve as a primary coordination point for FINTRAC inquiries, supported by internal and external AML counsel as appropriate.
Author and maintain core AML compliance program documents, including the AML/ATF policy, risk-based approach methodology, and supporting procedures, ensuring alignment with regulatory expectations and Benevity’s operational realities.
Conduct and document risk-based assessments of Benevity’s ML/TF exposure, incorporating product, client, geographic, and delivery channel risk factors.
Develop supporting procedures for elevated-risk client and product scenarios in coordination with our Fraud and Finance teams and Legal.
Design, build, and deliver Benevity’s annual AML compliance training program, calibrated by role and function to reflect actual risk exposure.
Maintain training completion records and reporting to support examination readiness and demonstrate regulatory compliance.
Develop targeted content for functions with elevated AML exposure, including client operations, finance, and onboarding.
Monitor and synthesize regulatory developments across FINTRAC, FinCEN, BSA, OFAC, providing timely horizon scanning outputs to GRC leadership and the General Counsel.
