BSA Deep Dive – August 2022

Description

It’s August and summer is quickly coming to an end. I know many BSA Officers have tried to get away for some rest and relaxation this summer, but the work never stops! It just piles up even on vacation. To help BSA personnel keep up on everything that hits the news related to BSA, AML-ology hosts the TurboTalks with all the latest news in the industry on Payments, Fraud, Cyber, OFAC, Regulator issuances, cannabis, human trafficking, crypto, and a host of other topics. That session is a quick overview of all the news for the month.  

Our Deep Dive events take the most important information from the TurboTalks each month and delves into some of the key points that are practical for financial institutions. This month we will be discussing: 

• The “ENABLERS Act” The House passed that is even more sweeping than the AML Act! 
• Crypto Mixers being used by nation-state actors and cybercriminals 

• BSA and OFAC Consent Orders providing valuable insights for FIs 
• Terrorism funding in luxury markets and what does the death of Al-Qaeda Chief Ayman al-Zawahiri mean for U.S. Counterterrorism? 
• FATF’s Guidance for a Risk-Based Approach for the Real Estate Sector 

Note: Our Deep Dives are usually one hour, but this one will be 1 ½ hours due to the volume of material to be addressed.
