A member's daughter worked as a Senior Analyst on Amex's Fraud Risk team (MBA graduate) and wasn't sure whether to classify her role under finance-related NOCs (1112, 1114) or the more generic IT Consultant NOC (2173), given her work sits at the intersection of finance, fraud strategy, and analytics.
What the thread clarified:- The right NOC depends on the actual substance of the work, not the job title alone. Developing business logic and strategy to target high-fraud-risk credit card segments and reduce losses points toward a finance/compliance-oriented NOC rather than a generic IT one.
- NOC 1114 was suggested as the closer fit, since that code includes compliance and fraud-prevention work, in addition to securities/investment-related duties — even though it's often associated with auditing-type work more broadly, fraud prevention duties can fall under it if there's an auditing element to the role.
- When writing your job duties for the NOC application, don't copy-paste the official NOC description. Instead, write your own description of the actual duties in your own words, ensuring the meaning matches the official NOC listing, and have it signed off by your manager or seniors to lend it credibility.
The practical takeaway: for a fraud-risk analyst role that blends finance strategy with compliance-style work, NOC 1114 was seen as the better fit over a generic IT NOC — write your job duties in your own words (matching the NOC's meaning, not copy-pasted) and get them formally signed by your manager.
