Your contribution to KPMG

• Contribute to regulatory compliance advisory engagements for banks, insurers, asset managers and other financial intermediaries across Western Switzerland, with a focus on AML requirements.
• Deliver KYC and client remediation workstreams, including analysis, documentation review, issue identification and clear recommendations.
• Support clients in interpreting and implementing regulatory requirements and strengthening frameworks designed to prevent regulatory breaches, fraud and other unlawful or unethical conduct.
• Perform compliance and AML-related prudential audit procedures, assess the design and effectiveness of controls, and prepare concise audit documentation and reports.
• Manage assigned workstreams with increasing autonomy, coordinate directly with client stakeholders and communicate progress, risks and findings to the engagement team.
• Depending on experience, review selected deliverables, support and coach junior colleagues, and contribute to proposals, methodology development and internal knowledge-sharing.

This is what makes you successful
