Regulators expect banks to show that their BSA operations rest on sound risk assessments. This BSA/AML/OFAC risk assessment training covers practices that regulators and examiners recognize, along with AML risk categories and each assessment area.
You'll learn how to review policies and procedures for risk assessments, identify your organization's risks and set a risk threshold based on your strategic plans and business models.
The session explains how to review your BSA, AML and OFAC risk assessments for completeness and thoroughness, judge whether your risk matrices fit your organization, perform each type of assessment and review them periodically so they stay relevant and adequate.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Appropriate risk assessments support strategic planning, help a bank understand its risk threshold and assist with OFAC compliance. The topics are based on industry practice and supervisory experience and cover the components of a BSA risk assessment program that auditors focus on.
