Bank Secrecy Act: The Fundamentals - CIP, CDD, EDD, CTR and Current Issues

Money laundering is a matter of serious concern in most countries of the world.  Its strong link with drug-related activity and terrorist violence make it a potent combination. Funding is the lifeblood of such activities, because none of this can happen without sound financing.
As perpetrators assail every loophole in the financial system to transfer funds illegally for abetting such acts, the banking system cannot hope to contain these nefarious activities unless it wakes up and adapts modern methods.
Most banks have implemented software which throws up red flags whenever there are unusual or suspicious transaction patterns. However, this is not sufficient, as perpetrators are aware of this and outsmart the system. It is all about who outmaneuvers the other.evolution-bank-secrecy

Rewards and Recognitions that Get You What You Want to Achieve

The information that follows applies to human resources personnel and management at all levels.Rewards and recognitions are the responsibility of all involved in the management and development of employees. My belief is that one size does not fit all and in order to achieve the desired outcomes, both task responsibilities and individual differences must be taken into account. Why You have to Know There are numerous elements that decide an association's arrangement around remuneration, advantages, prizes and acknowledgments. Maybe the absolute first choice that should be made is one of the essential estimations of the organization. Is it going to be an organization dependent on rank and security or one dependent on legitimacy - or a blend of the two? Government offices and association controlled associations as a rule settle on the real choices of remuneration around arrangement, rank and security. So too do numerous associations in the corporate world.Smaller organizations

Identity theft is one of the foremost issues for the banking industry. It goes without saying, from an observation of any of the patterns that the fraudsters use for theft, that they are smart.

My! FMLA, ADA and Workers' Comp Overlap Guidance for all Employers

This training program will analyze these three seemingly different bodies of law that often overlap leading to ambiguity and confusion. What are the eligibility/coverage criteria under the FMLA and the ADA/ADAAA and workers comp? When might an extended leave be a reasonable accommodation? When might it be an undue hardship? Undue hardship can mean different things to different employers. If you are in healthcare, pharma, banking and finance, to name a few examples, accommodations of leave requests that may be feasible for many other employers, might, for you, be an undue hardship. If it's not deemed an undue hardship are there steps you can take to mitigate the burden? What are the notice requirements? In this webinar, participants will get answers to these and many other questions. The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) requires covered employers to allow eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid job-protected leave and benefits to care for their own or a family member's s
