AML/CFT Yearend Update
Live Streamed ~ October 14-15, 2026 - 9:00 a.m.- 3:00 p.m. CT Daily

Refresh, Refocus & Prepare for What's Next
The fundamentals of BSA/AML/CFT compliance remain the cornerstone of every effective program—but risks, fraud schemes, regulatory expectations, and examiner focus areas continue to evolve.

The 2026 BSA AML/ CFT Brush-Up School is designed specifically for experienced BSA professionals who understand the basics and need an annual refresher on what has changed, what deserves renewed attention, and what practical steps institutions should take moving forward. Rather than rebuilding programs from the ground up, this session revisits core principles through the lens of today's regulatory and operational environment.

Whether preparing for the next examination cycle, strengthening fraud controls, refreshing risk assessments, improving SAR quality, or understanding the latest FinCEN initiatives—including Geographic Targeting Orders and the AML/CFT Program Notice of Proposed Rulemaking—participants will leave with actionable insights and practical solutions tailored for community banks.

Attendees will receive comprehensive training materials, practical resources, implementation tools, and opportunities to exchange ideas with peers facing similar challenges across the banking industry.
