About Arif Houssin:
I am a hard-working individual showcased by my recent roles in finance/accounting roles where I have started from entry level and reach managerial positions within a short space of time. I have always had an interest in compliance and KYC, so i took it upon myself to complete a KYC certification which would give me some knowledge into the field. Following on from the knowledge i had gained, i managed to secure work experience for two weeks with First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), one of the largest banks in the UAE. Here, I gained valuable experience working with variety of teams and conducting KYC processes from end - end for onboarding as well as for periodic reviews. In addition, I gained knowledge of both the corporate side of KYC as well as the Private banking including HNW individuals and SPV's. With the experience and knowledge I have gained along with my passion and hunger to be successful within the world of compliance, I believe I will be an extremely valuable asset to my next company.
Experience
I am a highly motivated and hard-working Individual looking to incorporate my experience and skills I have developed within in my finance/accounts career to secure a KYC analyst position. As an accounts receivable team lead working within a SOX complaint company, it is paramount to ensure company guidelines and regulations are always met for all processes, in order to ensure we meet the requirements and pass audits constructed by some of the largest Global accounting networks (Deloitte and PwC). One aspect of my current role which sparked my interest into KYC, is the on-boarding process of vendors. This process includes running various checks and ensuring we meet the guidelines set my auditors to ensure the risk management of new customers/vendors. These included existence checks, VAT checks, adverse media, tax haven and sanction checks.
Following on from my initial interest, I decided to complete an introduction to KYC course (KYC Lookup) to further expand my knowledge of the various aspects of KYC required for an entry level role. Along with my experience and transferrable skills which I have developed over the years, I managed to secure work experience within First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) where I had spent two weeks with various compliance teams (CDD (corporate/Private banking & FinCrime), executing everything I had learned into practise into the real world.
