Job Description:

The Quality Assurance (QA) Analyst is primarily responsible for executing independent QA reviews over TD Securities Monitoring and Investigations (TDSMI) AML/ATF activity to assess adherence to applicable procedures, internal standards, regulatory expectations, and established quality criteria.

The role evaluates investigation quality across TD Securities products, services, customers, transaction types, and monitoring processes, including activity involving cross-jurisdictional customers and regional considerations across Canada, Europe, and Asia Pacific (EAP). Reviews may include transaction monitoring alerts, manual monitoring activities, unusual transaction escalations, UTR and STR considerations, third-party payment reviews, regional escalation requirements, and evidence of risk-based decisioning.

The QA Analyst assesses whether investigative conclusions are accurate, complete, sufficiently supported, and appropriately documented, including consideration of customer profile, transaction activity, source documentation, internal and external research, ML/TF indicators, sanctions evasion indicators, regional reporting considerations, and Reasonable Grounds to Suspect requirements.

While the primary focus of the role is QA coverage over TDSMI, the QA Analyst may also support QA reviews over other FCI and KYC Investigation teams, processes, or portfolios as required based on business priorities, QA coverage needs, or emerging risk considerations.

The role may also support Senior Analysts and Managers in operational QA activities, including sample selection, QA reporting, tracker updates, analysis of quality results, preparation of management information, and responses to requests for information from Audit, testing teams, regulators, or other oversight partners.

The role also contributes to quality trend identification, issue escalation, reporting, and ongoing enhancement of QA methodology to support consistent investigation quality and a strong Financial Crime Risk Management control environment across applicable teams, processes, and jurisdictions.
