I would document the sources, rationale, residual risk, and recommended disposition in an auditable case record. How do you distinguish a likely false positive from a true sanctions match? I compare multiple identifiers beyond name similarity, including date of birth, nationality, addresses, registration details, ownership information, aliases, and transaction context. I only close an alert when the evidence sufficiently rules out a match and the rationale is clearly recorded. What sanctions risks are particularly relevant to a cryptocurrency platform? Key risks include use of mixers or obfuscation services, exposure to sanctioned wallets or jurisdictions, indirect dealings through intermediaries, rapid movement across wallets, and attempts to conceal beneficial ownership. Controls should combine wallet screening, transaction monitoring, customer due diligence, and escalation procedures. Describe how you would make a client offboarding recommendation when commercial stakeholders prefer retention. I would present an objective, evidence-based assessment of legal, regulatory, operational, and reputational risk. If the sanctions exposure exceeds the organization’s risk appetite or cannot be adequately mitigated, I would recommend restriction or offboarding and ensure the decision is escalated and documented under policy. How would you improve a sanctions-screening program that produces too many false positives? I would analyze alert data to identify common false-positive drivers, assess matching logic and data quality, and test calibrated tuning changes without weakening coverage. I would validate changes with Compliance and Legal, measure outcomes, and maintain governance records for all adjustments. Next step ## Apply now.
