Agenda

April 9
7:30 AM - 8:30 AM Breakfast
8:30 AM - 8:45 AM Welcome & Introductions
8:45 AM - 9:45 AM BSA and Third-Party Risk Third-party oversight and due diligence are critical components of anti-money laundering (AML) compliance programs, and regulators expect banks to have effective oversight of their third parties. This can be very challenging with organizations involved in Payments, Fintech & Crypto.
9:45 AM - 10:45 AM Higher Risk Relationships and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) For both individual and corporate clients with high-risk factors, additional due diligence needs to be carried out, including detailed source of wealth and funds checks, as well as independent identity checks, verification of corporate appointments and directorships and more in-depth research.
10:45 AM - 11:00 AM Break
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Cybersecurity/Cyberfraud The FBI is the lead federal agency for investigating cyber-attacks and intrusions. They collect and share intelligence and engage with victims while working to unmask those committing malicious cyber activities, wherever they are. To do this, they use their unique mix of authorities, capabilities, and partnerships to impose consequences against cyber adversaries.
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Lunch
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Case Study HSI’s investigations are diverse and wide-ranging,  including playing a crucial role in investigating crimes of exploitation. This includes combating child exploitation, human trafficking, financial fraud and scams and other crimes against vulnerable populations. HSI builds complex cases against the most sophisticated criminal networks that operate globally and pose the greatest threat to our security.
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM Fraud: Money Laundering and Managing the Nuances In the world of financial crimes, two terms stand out prominently – fraud and money laundering. Understanding the nuances between fraud and money laundering is crucial in combatting these threats effectively. We will delve into the fundamental differences between these two financial crimes and explore the distinct approaches to their respective solutions.
2:30 PM - 3:15 PM Transaction Monitoring & SARs Transaction monitoring, when effectively integrated, strengthens a financial institution’s compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. It not only aids in identifying suspicious behavior but also contributes valuable data for filing SARs to alert regulatory authorities when FIs have reason to believe that a customer’s financial activity may be linked to criminal activity.
3:00 PM - 3:15 PM Break
3:15 PM - 4:15 PM Regulator Panel – FDIC/FRB/DFPI Hear from the Regulators as they share their recent BSA exam results, discuss FinCEN Advisories and Guidance and Risk Based approach as outlined in the FFIEC BSA Examinations Manual. Use this opportunity to get all your questions answered and be better prepared for your next exam!
4:15 PM - 4:30 PM Final Thoughts & Questions
