After more than four decades, the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and anti-money laundering (AML) enforcement underwent unprecedented change in 2012.  Extensive changes to the rules and reporting requirements, enhanced expectations from examinations and law enforcement, and unprecedented fines and penalties for non-compliance make this event a “must” for BSA/AML and compliance risk professionals.

Every credit union must provide ongoing training to those responsible for BSA and AML compliance. This school gives your financial institution an opportunity to listen to and interact with the regulatory agencies. It also allows you a unique opportunity to get some rare “how to” instruction in BSA/AML compliance issues.

During the two days, you'll:
• Review BSA and AML regulations and OFAC compliance requirements;
• Learn about the latest exam initiatives and new areas of focus;
• Understand proactive steps a credit union must take in its SAR program and gain training on situations for SAR filing and investigation;
• Discover BSA implications of emerging payment systems;
• See how Skip Tracing can be an invaluable tool for your BSA compliance program; and
• Lean key steps to combat internal fraud.

By attending this program you’ll receive background information, regulatory requirements and guidance on BSA/AML matters along with assistance in developing and refining management skills to deal with AML challenges.

If you hold the CUNA Bank Secrecy Act Compliance Specialist (BSACS) designation and would like to have this program count towards your re-certification, please contact Shay Jacobs at sjacobs@mwcua.com prior to registration.

Who Should Attend? In today’s environment of increased penalties and enforcement alongside reduced budgets and resources, this comprehensive program is a must-attend event for compliance and operation employees and managers as well as BSA and AML specialists (from experienced veterans to new recruits).

Member Fee: $399 (Includes instruction, materials and lunch).
