Recent Congressional focus and well-publicized BSA enforcement actions and fines continue to support a climate where BSA compliance remains of paramount importance to all financial institutions. Treasury continues to rely on financial institutions to serve as the “front-line gatekeepers” for law enforcement efforts to safeguard the U.S. financial system from the abuses of financial crimes, including money laundering and terrorist financing. The federal regulatory agencies continue to rely on financial institutions to take “every reasonable step” to identify, minimize, and manage any risks that illicit financial activity may pose to the individual institution and to the industry. Ongoing initiatives by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), and the continued expansions in the federal examination procedures reinforce the need to have a strong BSA program at your institution.

This full-day seminar covers in detail the major issues and opportunities in the ever-expanding environment of the Bank Secrecy Act. This seminar highlights the increased federal expectations for BSA. The electronic submission and revisions of BSA forms (anticipated) is discussed. The guidelines on account management and due diligence expectations for Money Services Businesses (MSB) are highlighted. Institutional risk assessment, informational requests under CISADA, and the procedures on the reporting of Cross-Border Electronic Transmittals of Funds (CBETF – anticipated) are covered. Suspicious activity reporting and the most recent guidance from Treasury on proper SAR completion are discussed. The increasing importance of Customer/ Member Due Diligence standards, “Beneficial Ownership expectations”, and “High-Risk” client monitoring are reviewed. The impacts to financial institutions from the periodic expansions to the revised examination procedures are identified. The regulations affecting financial institutions from the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) are highlighted. Suspicious transactions, terrorist financing, and other money laundering techniques are also reviewed.

Currency Transaction Reporting (CTR), Exemptions from CTR reporting, Customer/Member Identification (CIP) requirements, foreign correspondent banking and Private Banking account management, SAR reporting requirements for insurance affiliates, record retention requirements, and the evolution of BSA are documented in detail. This seminar assists financial institutions in meeting the annual training requirements imposed by the BSA regulations, and provides attendees the opportunity to network with other professionals interested in BSA compliance.
