How to conduct an effective BSA Audit (Recorded)

BSA rules and regulations must be followed by financial institutions. Although financial institutions have been managing BSA operations in accordance with regulatory requirements, the shift to BSA audits has become increasingly important. Regulators look to the financial institution for confirmation and proof that BSA operations are being audited properly to ensure that BSA efforts are implemented and managed properly.

Audits are an important aspect to be done right since you don’t want an examiner to find out irregularities beforehand. The FFIEC BSA/Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Examination Manual helps financial institutions with the steps to conduct an audit. It also highlights changes and areas where banks should review their internal policies, processes, and procedures for compliance. Understanding these changes will keep you prepared and updated for your next BSA/AML examination.

To ensure your audits and examinations go well, it’s important that your reporting is done timely and accurately. This presentation highlights BSA audit best practices, a step-by-step approach to an audit and understanding the current environment which can alter your approach.
