CANCELLED: September 5/Web: Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Fundamentals #MCLE


UPDATE 9/5/2012: This seminar has been cancelled, according to an announcement at afda.org. I apologize for any inconvenience.


------------------------------
This program covers:
  • The four pillars of an AML Program: Policies, procedures and internal controls; appointment of a compliance officer; training; and periodic AML audit/review. How the four pillars and other BSA/AML requirements dovetail with the compliance program elements of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
  • Potemkin village compliance: How the HSBC case illustrates that the facade of compliance can be not only high risk but high cost.
  • Red flags for BSA/AML compliance failures: Why you never want to overlook obvious failures in compliance, mistakes in terminology and indicators of big things gone wrong.
