BSA/AML Compliance School
Today’s BSA Officers are no longer evaluated on whether their program meets the rules—they are judged on whether it actually works.
Regulators are placing increasing pressure on institutions to demonstrate that their BSA/AML programs are effective, risk-based, and defensible—not simply technically compliant.
This three-day program is designed specifically for community banks and smaller institutions, combining a practical fundamentals refresher with advanced, real-world application.
The optional BSA/AML Basics seminar on July 13 provides a complete introduction and fundamentals refresher to BSA compliance.
