Do you know the signs? Does your board know the signs? Your board and senior officers can contribute to creating a “culture of compliance” by providing adequate policies, funding, training, and support. Learn more, including examiners’ expectations, with this timely opportunity.
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Recognize that the board is ultimately responsible for the BSA program
- Understand the examiners’ expectations
- Define money laundering
- Explain what it means to have a ”culture of compliance”
- Distinguish between OFAC, BSA, and PATRIOT Act requirements
WEBINAR DETAILS
This webinar will cover what senior management, directors, and officers need to know about the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), PATRIOT Act, and OFAC. Your institution has significant responsibilities for protecting the financial system from being used to launder criminal proceeds, finance terrorism, or conduct other illegal activities. The board and management are responsible for creating a “culture of compliance” when executing the requirements of the anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Find out why proper policies and procedures, internal controls, the appointment of a knowledgeable BSA/OFAC officer, funding, support, and training are critical to making your BSA, PATRIOT Act, and OFAC programs effective and successful.
