This Bank Secrecy Act risk assessment training will highlight BSA's best practices that are being acknowledged and recognized by regulators and examiners. We will also discuss AML risk categories and each risk assessment area.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Although financial institutions have been managing BSA operations per the regulation requirements, the change in focus to appropriate BSA/AML/OFAC risk assessment has been coming increasingly important. Regulators look to the bank for insurance and evidence that BSA operations are appropriately performing risk assessments. Appropriate risk assessments are essential in a bank’s strategic planning and development, understanding the banking risk threshold as well as assisting in OFAC compliance.
This webinar highlights BSA/AML/OFAC risk assessments. The areas of focus outlined in this webinar are based on best industry practice, supervisory experience and cover the major components of an effective BSA risk assessment program that audit focuses on. The instructor will look at these areas and the specifics of each area as it pertains to BSA compliance.
