BSA/AML contextual awareness of high risk customers 90 minute webinar scheduled for November 9, 2016

Step by step guidance to monitoring high risk customers to meet regulatory guidelines and benefit your institution

AUSTIN, TX (October 27, 2016) — Ongoing high risk customer reviews have been a requirement since the first FinCEN Exam Manual was published in 2005, and the recent guidance for Customer Due Diligence/Enhanced Due Diligence (CDD/EDD) further defines the expected approach for institutions to properly identify and evaluate high risk customers. The regulators have not, however, detailed the day-to-day approach required to meet this required customer monitoring. This presentation will provide the practical steps to enable your institution to meet both the letter and spirit of the law and regulation. Drawing from real-world audit issues, the presentation will cover what many banks are doing incorrectly and what they should be doing instead.

Please join Sarah Beth Whetzel, founder of Palmera Banking Solutions, as she outlines the regulatory expectations and how to efficiently manage them while also providing meaningful insight on how a thriving high risk customer monitoring program can have tangible benefits to your institution.
