BSA is an ongoing, ever-changing “safety and soundness” issue. This informative two-day Bootcamp provides the framework for understanding the BSA team’s roles and responsibilities for BSA/AML and OFAC compliance. The financial industry is required to take an increasingly leading role in preventing money laundering and potential terrorist funding. Compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) continues to be a top priority with the regulators. One primary requirement of BSA is to designate a BSA/AML officer and ensure that the BSA officer and the BSA team are well trained and qualified to carry out the duties of this critical position.

This session provides current, updated tools, techniques, and “real world” practice and examples for learning the critical components of a BSA/AML program. Basic BSA regulatory framework and provide you with an understanding of the BSA, OFAC, and core recordkeeping and reporting requirements will be reviewed. Attendees will utilize the FFIEC BSA/AML Examination Manual and 31 CFR Chapter X and receive tools, handouts, and best practices.
