Background

About Mike Harding

An experienced Senior Project / Programme Manager (Contract) with a solid track record of delivering a range of projects on behalf of UK and Offshore Financial institutions. For the past three years, I've headed up a Programme of Financial Crime change intended to strengthen the Bank's Control Framework; to respond to new regulations or Legal Orders, and to deliver business transformation in line with the Bank's Financial Crime / AML strategy or local risk appetite. Over this time, the outcomes from the Programme have heavily contributed to improvements in the Bank's Financial Crime culture and Controlled Environment rating, and has been a strategic enabler to support the future Financial Crime Change agenda. The team of c35 reports work closely with Risk and Compliance across a range of Projects that typically focus on Anti Money Laundering, Anti Bribery and Corruption, Customer Due Diligence, Transaction Monitoring and Financial Crime Suspicions and Investigations. Reporting directly at Executive and Board Level, I have budgetary responsibility of c£3m pa, with around 12 in-flight Projects at any one time. Outside Financial Crime, I've managed a wide range of projects, with a strong catalogue of deliveries spanning regulatory, infrastructure, propositional and strategic change - including the technical and business implementation of several complex system developments.
