Understanding Money Laundering Risks to Banks, and Oversight of AML Risk Mitigation – 2h’
Coordinator: James H. Freis, Jr., Founder, Market Integrity Solutions LLCBanks are at risk of their services being abused to facilitate money laundering and related financial crime. Therefore, a critical regulatory obligation expected of banks is to adopt anti-money laundering (AML) measures, which should be tailored to the specific risks of each bank’s products, services, and customer base. Yet many banks remain challenged by these requirements, as evidenced by audit findings and numerous public examples of penalties assessed by regulators. This session will focus on helping board members develop an understanding of:
- The principles underlying the AML requirements and WHY banks have responsibilities
- The parties involved in terms of WHO are the respective competent authorities, and responsibilities inside and outside banks
- The basic regulatory requirements in terms of WHAT is expected of banks
- For Board members, HOW to consider whether a bank’s AML risk management appears reasonably designed and implemented
