Learn how to utilize the BSA/AML manual as a guide to assess the adequacy of your bank's BSA/AML compliance program.
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) has released updates to certain portions of its Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) Examination Manual in recent years. The BSA/AML manual outlines the guidelines bank examiners follow when assessing the adequacy of a bank's BSA/AML compliance program. However, it can also serve as a tool for financial institutions to provide insight into expectations for regulatory compliance and how institutions are evaluated during the examination process.
