Bank Secrecy Act: The Fundamentals - CIP CDD EDD CTR and Current Issues

• OVERVIEW

This webinar will help to understand the fundamental requirements of the BSA/AML statutes and Money Laundering strategies and techniques.

• WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND

Money laundering continues to be a national concern. High levels of drug-related activity and violence have drawn additional attention. Terrorist activities need to be considered as well. Perpetrators have adapted to banks’ efforts so banks cannot combat the money laundering with yesterday’s methods. Software is widely installed to identify specific patterns and “unusual” transactions. But the fraudsters know this and are constantly striving to create new patterns where their transactions are designed not to be flagged. Like in a game of chess, the advantage goes to the side that thinks the most moves ahead.
