Why CTRs and SARs are critical
How to ensure you have an effective customer identification program
Everything you need to know about beneficial owners
Who your high-risk customers are and what enhanced due diligence is needed for them
Who Should Attend
New BSA officers and staff (and anyone who needs a refresher), compliance officers, internal audit staff and any employee who assists with BSA monitoring, auditing or compliance.
Highlights
This session covers the five pillars required for your BSA program: 1) Internal Controls, 2) BSA Officer, 3) BSA Training Program, 4) Independent Testing and 5) Customer Due Diligence. But what makes a strong program versus one that meets the bare minimum? What does it mean to have ultimate board oversight and commitment to the BSA program? And what does it truly entail to be the BSA Officer? This program will cover basic requirements as well as best practices.
Beneficial Ownership
Beneficial ownership has been covered in-depth over the last couple years and this session will prepare attendees for their first post-effective-date exam. It provides a simple roadmap that illustrates what you need and for which customers. We will also cover the highlights of the interagency exam procedures, review feed- back from regulators and touch on themes from the hundreds of C/A Hotline questions related to implementing this rule.
High-Risk Monitoring and Enhanced Due Diligence
Identification of higher-risk customers, products and services is critical to the bank's underlying risk assess-ment. But how do we know who or what poses a higher risk of money laundering or terrorist financing? This session covers identifying high-risk BSA areas, how to mitigate those risks and whether a customer or product deemed high risk needs to continually be considered high risk.
Currency Transaction Reports
This session covers requirements related to reporting currency transactions over $10,000 and will also discuss frequently asked questions - for example, how joint accounts, sole proprietorships and armored car services impact your CTR requirements.
Suspicious Activity Reports
Suspicious Activity Reporting is one of the most important BSA duties your financial institution has. The information gathered is compiled by FinCEN and utilized by various government agencies. As such, understanding when reports must be done, when reports should be done and what information you need in order to fill out a useful report is imperative. This presentation also covers frequently asked questions and best practices.
Customer Identification Program
CIP is the cornerstone of your bank's "know your customer" program. This presentation tackles when identification is required, who you need identification from and what information is needed when a customer does not have a traditional ID. We'll cover a myriad of issues like foreign customer IDs, business verification and power-of-attorneys and other agent accounts.
