Overview

A digital operating model for compliance and fraud.

I designed a compliance reporting and fraud detection automation platform for a digital banking environment, replacing manual reporting, fragmented customer risk data, spreadsheet based consolidation, email approvals and delayed fraud detection with a structured digital operating model.

The solution introduced automated compliance reporting, real time fraud alerting, centralised customer risk profiling, workflow based case management, audit trail visibility, KPI reporting and a phased agile delivery roadmap.

The Challenge

Disconnected systems and overnight batch processing.

Compliance and fraud operations relied on disconnected systems, manual CSV extraction, spreadsheet consolidation, email based approvals and overnight batch processing. That created reporting delays, data errors, weak audit trails, fraud detection lag and regulatory exposure.

I defined a future state automation model with automated data extraction, validation rules, digital approval workflows, real time fraud scoring, tiered alert prioritisation, case management, SLA tracking, audit visibility and phased implementation planning.
Process Redesign

Mapped the current state, then designed the future state.

Two workflows were analysed end to end, compliance reporting and fraud monitoring. The AS IS maps surfaced the manual handoffs and delays. The TO BE maps show the automated pipelines, validation gates and escalation paths that replace them.

AS IS. Staff source and consolidate data in spreadsheets, validate manually, then route reports for internal review and sign off before submission. Fraud is reviewed only after alerts trigger.
Click to zoom TO BE process flows for compliance reporting and fraud monitoring
TO BE. Scheduled pipelines extract, transform and validate data automatically, with exception logging, dual sign off and automated submission. Fraud uses a real time risk scoring engine with tiered routing, escalation and SAR generation.
My Role

Business Analyst and Product Owner.

I worked across discovery, requirements definition, process analysis, backlog planning, prototype validation and delivery governance.

I produced and supported AS IS and TO BE workflow analysis, gap analysis, stakeholder mapping, epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, UAT evidence, defect tracking, RAID and RACI artefacts, KPI targets, business case assumptions and the implementation roadmap.

The Prototype

Designed and prototyped, end to end.

An interactive operations portal bringing the model to life, an analytics and insights view, a real time fraud monitoring dashboard, and an operations overview tying compliance, fraud and case management together.

Agile Delivery

Structured, estimated and validated.

The transformation was framed as a delivery backlog with clear scope, estimation and validation, not just a slide deck.
