Do you know about the BSA update trifecta?  There were three updates to the BSA exam manual in 2021.  Do those additions to the already hefty set of BSA regulations leave you wanting for answers?  This is the update you need to ensure your program is compliant and will pass the next exam. 

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

• Understand the factors to effectively identify high-risk customers
• Use the updates to predict expected risk-mitigation steps
• Anticipate examiner expectations in three new subsections for “Examiner Evaluation”
• Determine if your BSA/AML program meets the standards for customer risk profiles
• Evaluate procedures for monitoring independent ATM owners

WEBINAR DETAILS

The BSA exam manual was updated three times in 2021, most recently on December 1, 2021.  While the FFIEC press release said the updates are not “new” requirements, they provide critical insight into the priorities for BSA exams.  Is your BSA/AML program adequate and will it pass the next exam?

The December 1^st update added a new introductory section. Additional changes were made to:

• Charities and Nonprofit Organizations
• Independent Automated Teller Machine Owners or Operators
• Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)
