2 months ago
The Regulatory Capital Quality Assurance (RCQA) team, part of Finance Quality Assurance (FQA), Testing and Validation group within the Finance Chief Operating Officer (COO) organization assesses the accuracy of Citi’s implementation of the U.S. Basel regulatory requirements. RCQA verifies conformance to Citi’s interpretation and implementation of the U.S. Basel regulatory and reporting requirements. It also assesses business requirements, reporting logic, and the accuracy of specific data inputs required for risk-weighted assets (RWA) calculation and reporting. In addition, RCQA completes the cause for identified findings and works with RWA Controllers to develop action plans to remediate the underlying issues (including data) at the source.
This role will support Spot RWA conformance testing, focusing on conducting rule-based testing to support, monitor, and assess the accuracy of Regulatory Capital and RWA calculation and adherence to reporting instructions. The role entails leading the team in developing test cases and test scripts, executing the tests, conducting root cause analysis on identified issues, and escalating potential problems. The Lead Analyst will also evaluate testing results to make recommendations to management for improvements to the RWA production process and coordinate with Capital Planning, Treasury, and Finance Transformation Office leadership to ensure the identified issues are appropriately prioritized and remediated.
This role will lead the new RWA QA function built within the larger first line of defense (1LoD) team. The Lead Analyst will partner extensively with colleagues across Finance, the RWA workstreams, technology, and front office business lines to develop and implement audit-style testing protocols to ensure the transparency and appropriateness of data inputs, calculation logic, and reporting of Spot RWA balances and ensure completeness and accuracy of testing results to senior management.
Ability to work under pressure to meet tight deadlines and excellent people skills are required given the level of interaction with senior managers, RWA Controllers, various business units, auditors, and regulators.

Enabling continuous improvement by partnering with workstream leads and senior stakeholders to proactively design solutions for identified weaknesses or gaps with compensating controls.
