Event Synopsis:

Reporting by financial organizations, mandated by the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), plays a crucial role in combating terrorist financing and money laundering. By now, we all know the four pillars of a BSA/AML program. The “what” and “why” are nothing new but looking to 2016, AML professionals will need to balance the expectations of the regulators while constantly reevaluating the “how.” The surge in enforcement actions sends a clear message that there is a huge gap between what regulators consider to be sound AML and CFT risk management and what the current situation for most financial institutions is. The gaps in AML programs along with sophisticated emerging trends in financial crimes suggest that traditional methodologies and technologies have fallen short of the stated goals.

Financial institutions must be willing to move beyond traditional AML programs and technology if they wish to effectively manage risk across the enterprise, protect the organization’s reputation and satisfy the regulators.

In this two hour, live webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss how certain trends are shaping the AML landscape and how the role of technology is becoming a game-changer for more effective AML programs. Speakers will present their thoughts on next generation AML. Topics include:

An Enterprise View of Risk
REPs (Reputationally Exposed Persons found in Adverse Media)
Day 1 vs. Day 2
FinCEN 314b and information sharing
Effective AML Models: Risk/Principles-based vs. Rules-based
Model Validation
