À propos de Farhat
Swiss-based Freelance Compliance Officer with 5+ years of experience at a tier-1 bank in Geneva (headquartered in Zurich), I help financial institutions, fintechs, and consulting firms build robust compliance programs and navigate complex regulatory environments.
Financial Crime Compliance
I have deep expertise in financial crime compliance, covering AML/KYC remediation, Sanctions screening, and Anti-Bribery & Corruption (ABC) frameworks. Certified across the full FCC spectrum by Credit Suisse, I identify risk exposure, design mitigation controls, and ensure end-to-end regulatory alignment.
Governance Frameworks & Regulatory Compliance
I design and implement governance frameworks tailored to regulatory requirements, including FATCA/CRS client tax classification, cross-border compliance, US policy (P-00025), and FINMA standards. I translate complex regulatory obligations into clear, actionable policies and procedures for operational teams.
Risk Prevention & Operational Resilience
Experienced in non-financial risk management and operational risk incident identification, I support organisations in building resilient compliance structures — from risk mapping and gap analysis to remediation plans and internal controls.
Training & Team Leadership
I have managed compliance teams and delivered training programs on AML/KYC, sanctions, and governance topics — fostering risk-aware cultures across business lines and ensuring staff readiness for regulatory audits.
