Sample interview questionsHow would you assess an EDD case involving a politically exposed person with adverse-media results?I would first validate identity, PEP status, and the credibility, recency, and relevance of the adverse media. I would then apply a documented risk-based assessment covering the customer's profile, expected activity, source of wealth and funds, jurisdictional exposure, and potential financial-crime indicators. Based on the evidence, I would recommend approval with enhanced monitoring, remediation, escalation, or off-boarding, ensuring the rationale is clear and consistent with policy.

How do you maintain consistent decision quality across a team reviewing complex high-risk cases?

I establish clear decision frameworks, case-quality standards, calibrated examples, and escalation thresholds. I use regular quality-assurance sampling and feedback sessions to identify recurring issues, then update SOPs and deliver targeted training. For complex or borderline matters, I encourage early escalation and document decisions so the team can apply lessons consistently.

Describe your approach to source-of-wealth and source-of-funds assessments for crypto clients.

I distinguish the origin of a customer's overall wealth from the immediate origin of funds used for activity. I seek reliable, independent evidence appropriate to the risk, such as employment or business records, asset-sale documentation, bank records, transaction histories, and wallet analytics where relevant. I reconcile evidence against the client profile and transactional behavior, escalating unexplained inconsistencies or red flags.

How would you manage a disagreement between an analyst and a business stakeholder about off-boarding a high-risk customer?

I would review the case evidence, applicable regulatory obligations, internal policy, and the documented risk rationale without allowing commercial considerations to override compliance requirements. I would facilitate a structured discussion, involve MLRO or Compliance leadership when needed, and record the final decision and rationale. The goal is a timely, defensible outcome that protects the organization and treats the customer fairly.

What changes would you make to an EDD workflow that is missing SLA targets?

I would analyze the workflow by case type, backlog source, handoffs, evidence gaps, and rework rates to identify the main bottlenecks. Improvements could include triage by risk and complexity, clearer evidence-request templates, automation of routine screening steps, better queue visibility, and focused analyst coaching. I would track SLA attainment, quality outcomes, and escalation rates to ensure faster processing does not weaken risk controls.
