The formal requirements for financial institution compliance under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) continue to be significant. With the regulatory agencies committing to tougher and more inclusive BSA/AML examinations, it is just as important as ever for bankers to make certain their BSA/AML program is appropriate for their institution's risk exposure. 

During these events, attendees cover all primary requirements of each segment of the regulation and receive guidance on best practice expectations in each area. When completed, each will have the in-depth knowledge, resources, and peer networks to effectively manage their BSA/AML function or audit this function properly. Units of study include:

• Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering program requirements.
• Traditional financial recordkeeping elements of currency transactions, monetary instrument sales and funds transfers.
• A comprehensive look at the CTR and SAR forms, including filing scenarios and dynamic “should you file” discussions.
