About This:
Credit unions are increasingly caught between stricter regulations concerning member data and increasingly broad powers of government to acquire this data. During this webinar, volunteers will learn the latest trends from FINCEN and NCUA, how to identify 'Suspicious Activity Report' and 'Currency Transaction Report' events, timetables and penalties and how to assign appropriate levels of BSA resources using a risk based analysis. At this level, this session will cover the Bank Secrecy Act so that volunteers can use this knowledge to keep their credit unions in compliance in this important area of law.

    What you will learn:
    > BSA purpose and applicability;
    > Minimal requirements for BSA compliance;
    > BSA and traps for credit unions;
    > Customer/ member identification programs;
    > Customer/ member due diligence;
    > Situations covered by SARs;
    > SAR safe harbors;
    > Tips on completing a SAR;
    > SAR confidentiality;
    > Penalties for failing to comply with SAR requirements;
    > Situations where you must file a CTR;
    > CTR safe harbors;
    > Tips on completing CTRs; and
    > Penalties for failing to comply with CTR requirements.

This session would be helpful to anyone who must deal with Bank Secrecy Act issues regularly. With its focus on CIPs, SARs and CTRs, managers, compliance officers, auditors and anyone else involved with these functions would benefit from this seminar.

    If these are questions you are asking yourself then you should listen in on this session.
