Bank Secrecy Act: Senior Management and Directors

The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) is one of the main tools the Federal Government uses to combat financial crimes and terrorist activity. The BSA requires banks to assist in preventing crime by enacting sound policies regarding reporting, recordkeeping, and monitoring of potentially criminal activity. BSA/AML requirements grant senior management and the Board of Directors primary responsibility for ensuring that the bank has a comprehensive and effective BSA/AML compliance program and oversight framework that is reasonable designed to ensure compliance. This course is intended for senior management and board of directors.
