BSA Deep Dive – July 2022

Description

We are in the middle of summer, and many are on vacation and enjoying the warmer weather. However, BSA never slows down as I am sure you well know! Every month we do a session on 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 monthly Deep Dives take the most important information from the month and delve into some of the key points that are practical for financial institutions. July’s BSA Deep Dive will focus on a variety of topics including: 

• The “Organized Theft Groups and Organized Retail Crime” report put out by HSI and ACAMS
