Bio

I am the Vice President of KPMG in Canada's Forensic & Dispute Advisory Services and the firm's Financial Crimes practice. I have over 15 years of experience helping businesses assess their anti-money-laundering ('AML') processes and have advised clients across industries on safeguarding against, fraud, collusion and various financial threats while helping them meet regulatory requirements. I have had the opportunity to work across the KPMG's network of firms, including KPMG in the UK and KPMG, Netherlands.

I am a client-focused and results oriented leader and have assisted with a wide range of forensic and internal audit assessments within financial services and other AML regulated industries. Through my engagements, I have gained a deep understanding of our clients' businesses that have unique AML processes and must comply in a dynamic and changing regulatory environment.

As part of AML assignments I evaluate governance, risk assessments, policies and procedures, enhanced due diligence and transaction monitoring processes to determine whether risks are properly identified and mitigated to ultimately assess the effectiveness of the overall AML compliance programs. Through these reviews, I am able to determine whether businesses have appropriately identified pertinent risks related to money laundering and terrorist activity in the context of their products, services, clients and geographic location and implemented adequate controls.

I am a frequent speaker at a number of industry AML conferences.
