New Community BSA/AML Officer Workshop - 2 Part Series

Welcome to the community bank BSA/AML/CFT Officer role where you will establish the backbone of your bank’s financial crime defenses and compliance. This two-part series explores the role, responsibilities, techniques and career path for community bank BSA/AML/CFT Officers and includes case studies, problem solving and tips for building your compliant BSA/AML/CFT program. This program will help you to:

• Build a strong foundation in BSA/AML/CFT regulatory requirements
• Clarify the role, authority, and responsibilities of the BSA Officer
• Equip participants to build and manage an effective BSA/AML/CFT Compliance Program
• Prepare Officers to interact confidently with the Board, auditors, and regulators
• Support long-term career development in BSA/AML/CFT compliance

Limited Spots available! Join us for these special 2 ½ hour classes and workshops for community bankers to develop the community bank BSA/AML/CFT Compliance Officer skillset for achieving satisfactory reviews. Part 1 begins by establishing the Role, Responsibilities and Career Path of the Community Bank BSA/AML/CFT Compliance Officer. Part 2 picks up to refine the requirements and offers building blocks to create, manage and defend your own BSA/AML/CFT Compliance Program while managing key relationships for a successful program.

As always, we will begin with the basic regulatory requirements and briefly address where Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) intersects as a separate program. We will share common errors, audit exceptions and exam findings to highlight potential gaps in your BSA/AML Program, as needed. In each part we will break into workshop groups to explore common questions and the operationalizing of BSA/AML/CFT compliance at your institution, including tips on developing internal controls to assist you. We will share in a “cameras on”, “microphones on” mode during the workshop segments.
