"Managing Programs...Managing Risks"
What Sets Apart the Need for a School?
v |
Today's BSA/AML challenges demand real-time, instensive focus and in-depth knowledge. |
|
v |
The BSA examination
has asked much more of Florida banks,
and has expected much more from the
BSA program than in the past. |
|
v |
The interagency exam
takes a risk-based approach, expecting
banks to understand their appetite
for, and exposure to, risk and implement
practices to mitigate risks. |
|
|
v |
Community banking is
vastly different than regional, super-regional,
and multinational banking. |
|
v |
Each bank and financial institution must have a "qualified " Bank Secrecy & Anti-Money Laundering Executive. |
v |
Knowing the customer and knowing
the regulations are no longer enough. |
There are numerous workshops,
seminars, and conferences dealing with
current money laundering related events,
from politics to program deficiencies
to “PEPs.”
There are telephone and web-based programs
that discuss the nuances of new regulations.
There are symposiums to deliberate the
impact of world events affecting BSA
enforcement. But this is the first
SCHOOL designed, developed,
and presented by Florida
Bankers. And it’s the first such
event offered in an academic setting to Florida
Bankers.
The 2008 BSA School
will incorporate many changes based
on comments from 2007. The
curriculum will reflect more relevant,
topical issues and will be focused on more
hands-on, problem-solving discussions.

audit, and operations employees and
managers. |

Trainers, internal control specialists,

and thoughtful environment. |

Discussion, regulatory requirements
and step-by-step guidance on new and emerging BSA and AML matters. |

and refining management skills to

an academic approach
– knowledge and “take-aways.” |

tools, and understanding to help
deal with BSA issues. |
