HKA is delighted to announce that Noémi Klein has been appointed as Director in the Investigations & Compliance team within its Forensic Accounting & Commercial Damages practice, based in London. 

Noémi brings more than a decade of experience in financial crime risk management, compliance, and investigations across banking, consulting, and legal sectors. She has led complex engagements spanning anti-money laundering (AML), fraud prevention, anti-bribery and corruption (ABC), and sanctions, helping organisations strengthen their frameworks and meet regulatory expectations. 

A recognised subject matter expert in trade finance and sanctions, Noémi has been engaged on FCA appointed Skilled Person Reviews, designed and executed Business-Wide Risk Assessments (BWRAs), and led Target Operating Model (TOM) transformations. Her recent work includes large-scale remediation projects for international financial institutions, fraud risk assessments aligned to emerging legislation, and testing of financial crime controls for major banks to enhance compliance and mitigate risk on behalf of the regulator. 

“I’m thrilled to join HKA’s Investigations & Compliance team at a time of heightened regulatory expectations and fast-evolving financial crime risks. HKA’s multidisciplinary model and global reach provide a powerful platform to deliver pragmatic, defensible outcomes across AML, sanctions, and fraud. I look forward to helping clients as they strengthen governance, respond confidently to regulatory scrutiny, and build resilient, future-fit frameworks through risk assessment, monitoring, and sustainable control enhancements,”

Noémi Klein, Director

Before joining HKA, Noémi held senior leadership and specialist roles at global consulting firms and international banks, including positions at FTI Consulting, Guidehouse, ING, Standard Chartered, PwC, Citibank, and MoneyGram International. She has managed multi-country surveillance operations, delivered operational risk frameworks, and supported regulatory engagement with authorities across Europe, Asia, the United States and the Middle East. She has successfully driven transformation programmes, implemented proactive risk mitigation strategies, and delivered measurable efficiencies across first and second lines of defence. 

Noémi is an active contributor to industry dialogue, frequently speaking and moderating at conferences and workshops, and authoring thought leadership on practical risk appetite, sanctions/export controls, and the operational effectiveness of financial crime controls. She has co-organised interactive sessions with industry associations and delivered large-scale training programmes for public and private sector audiences. 

“We’re delighted to welcome Noémi to the team. Her depth of expertise across financial crime, particularly in sanctions and trade finance, combined with a proven track record of delivering complex regulatory engagements, will further strengthen our offering. Noémi’s appointment reflects HKA’s continued investment in top-tier talent to support clients with their most demanding compliance and investigations challenges.”
