The Workbook guides you through each step of the PATRIOT Act independent review requirement. Each question is fully explained, and FinCEN guidance is also included. The format is designed to be acceptable to bank AML compliance departments as well as state and IRS examiners. Some MSBs' operations are very complex and require outside auditors to conduct testing. Yet even in those cases, by doing much of the audit work by yourself, you can significantly reduce the cost spent on outside help. Many MSBs have found that they do not need outside audit help at all and that the Workbook is all they need to maintain compliance and stay in the good graces of their bank. This is the only Bank Secrecy/PATRIOT Act independent review guide endorsed by the National Money TRansmitters Association

Book excerpt: Using the FFIEC Examination Manual to conduct an independent review is like using the owner's manual of a car to judge a driver's abilities. Wrong tool for the job! The Complete Audit Workbook ensures that audit professionals and BSA officers have the right tool to conduct the PATRIOT Act (Section 352) required independent review. The Workbook breaks down BSA/AML regulatory requirements into component parts that enable an auditor to judge whether all the i's and t's of a BSA compliance program are dotted and crossed. Guidance for each major category of questions (over 50 in all!) is included. Audit traps, --items seen only in confidential exit interviews-- are also included. The audience for this book is both BSA auditors and compliance officers. The latter can utilize the Workbook to design a comprehensive, sustainable AML program. The former can use this Workbook to check their firm's BSA program status and carry out their duty to keep senior management informed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) requires that designated financial institutions implement and maintain anti-money laundering (AML) programs. Tribal casinos have been designated as financial institutions under the BSA since 1996, and the BSA regulations issued by the Treasury Department in 31 C.F.R. 103.64 prescribe the minimum standards for those programs. All tribal governments conducting or sponsoring gaming activities - whether for one night out of the year or throughout the year, whether in their primary place of operation or at remote sites - must be aware of the federal requirements associated with the Bank Secrecy Act. This workbook will allow the casino compliance officer to conduct and write a formal risk assessment that can serve as the basis for the casino's AML program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anti–Money Laundering in a Nutshellis a concise, accessible, and practical guide to compliance with anti–money laundering law for financial professionals, corporate investigators, business managers, and all personnel of financial institutions who are required, under penalty of hefty fines, to get anti–money laundering training. Money laundering is endemic. As much as 5 percent of global GDP ($3.6 trillion) is laundered by criminals each year. It’s no wonder that every financial institution in the United States—including banks, credit card companies, insurers, securities brokerages, private funds, and money service businesses—must comply with complex examination, training, and reporting requirements mandated by a welter of federal anti–money laundering (AML) laws. Ignorance of crime is no excuse before the law. Financial institutions and businesses that unknowingly serve as conduits for money laundering are no less liable to prosecution and fines than those that condone or abet it. In Anti–Money Laundering in a Nutshell: Awareness and Compliance for Financial Personnel and Business Managers, Kevin Sullivan draws on a distinguished career as an AML agent and consultant to teach personnel in financial institutions what money laundering is, who does it, how they do it, how to prevent it, how to detect it, and how to report it in compliance with federal law. He traces the dynamic interplay among employees, regulatory examiners, compliance officers, fraud and forensic accountants and technologists, criminal investigators, and prosecutors in following up on reports, catching launderers, and protecting the integrity and reputations of financial institutions and businesses. In particular, corporate investigators will gain rich insights winnowed from the author's experiences as a New York State and federal investigator.

Book excerpt: An Independent audit of the bank's Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) policies, procedures and processes is one statutory requirement of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). In addition, it is a regulatory requirement of bank regulators because it is one of the sound risk management practices. The independent audit helps the bank's board of directors and management to evaluate the effectiveness of the bank's BSA/AML policies and implement stronger controls as needed. In addition, one of the most important ways to ensure that bank's anti-money laundering policy is in compliance with BSA/AML regulations is to subject it to independent audits. Regular internal audits are always recommended, but external auditors have the distance and perspective needed to give the bank further confidence in its BSA/AML policies, procedures and processes.The independent audit focuses on how the bank's policies, procedures, and processes are organized to support BSA/AML compliance. Given the complexity and importance of the issue, it is critical for the bank to hire a consultant who is an expert in the BSA/AML policy intent and the regulatory apparatus that goes with it. Best practice is to conduct the external audit every 12 to 18 months.
