• UKEF Departmental stakeholders are aware of financial crime-related risks on transactions, and ways of mitigating them.
• Working alongside the Compliance Division (CD), UKEF has in place, and operates effectively and consistently, systems and controls to ensure that UKEF does not support transactions which are tainted by Financial Crime.

Leadership and Management

• Play a full and active corporate leadership role in the FCDDD /LCG leadership team, in particular contributing to group governance activities (operational planning, enterprise risk, etc).
• Model civil service expected leadership behaviours both within LCG and UKEF, and in our relationships with other bodies.
• Assist other FCDDD managers in ensuring that all FCDDD staff are assisted to assess themselves against required skills/knowledge to operate effectively as compliance professionals.
• Assist other FCDDD managers in ensuring that the function is operating effectively and efficiently, and reflecting, to the extent appropriate, best practice across Government and the private sector, in the provision of high-quality analysis in the identification, understanding, management and mitigation of financial crime risks with timely and comprehensive advice and/or recommendations provided.
• Support the Head of FCDDD in managing and promoting FCDDD, including, for example in ensuring that financial crime issues are considered at UKEF’s Enterprise Risk & Credit Control meetings (ERiCC).

Transactional analysis

• Play a full and active leadership role supporting FCDDD in its role of identifying, understanding, managing, and mitigating potential financial crime issues which arise on UKEF transactions, in the context of UKEF’s policy framework, RAS, role and remit.

• Provide full and active support in ensuring high quality and written oral analysis on the above.
• Ensure high quality analysis work is being undertaken within the FCDDD team.
• Decision making on the basis of recommendations made to senior management by more junior members of the team (accounting for wider implications e.g. policy, RAS, commercial considerations etc).
• Take an active role in the ongoing and periodic review of the RAS, taking into account transactional analysis work.
• Take an active role in undertaking horizon-scanning to help ensure that UKEF is aware of developments in the wider financial crime landscape.
• Take an active role in the development and implementation of policies and procedures which may be specific to the role of FCDDD.
• Take an active role in liaising with Other Government Departments (OGDs) and law enforcement agencies to ensure that UKEF is informed of issues that may affect its compliance approach.

Training

• Take an active role in ensuring that training resources both within FCDDD and for other areas of UKEF are developed and maintained to a high standard, reflecting the financial crime risks that UKEF is subject to.
• Seek feedback on the training provided and make recommendations for improvements as needed.
• Encourage and facilitate a culture of continuous professional development in FCDDD, seeking and promoting relevant learning opportunities.

Policies, Processes and Procedures
