An in-house developed surveillance system provides automated alert capabilities across a number of key market abuse and financial crime scenarios for review by the team who escalate any unusual or suspicious behaviour to the Surveillance Alerts & Investigations Team Leaders.

In addition, an automated e-communications alert system is used to detect a broad range of potential risks that require review including suspicious behaviour, financial crimes, market misconduct, conflicts of interest, anti-competitive behaviour or leaks of confidential information.

A manual monitoring programme is also carried out alongside automated alerts review which includes data analysis using spreadsheets and focused voice communications monitoring.

It is expected that Senior Analysts have an established and broad understanding across all areas of financial crime and market conduct risks and are able to recognise and investigate suspicious behaviours that require escalation. Senior Analysts support the function by executing various processes that help reduce residual risks and maintain compliance with the Bank's policies and procedures relating to Financial Crime (e.g. the Anti-Money Laundering/Counter Terrorist Financing Policy, the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy and the Sanctions Policy), Market Conduct (e.g. the Conflicts of Interest Policy and the Information Barriers Policy) and Business Conduct (e.g. Best Execution and Fair Pricing Policy, Electronic Communications and Chat Room Policy).
