10 Compelling Reasons Why You Need BSA Training - Tips & Tools

A Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) officer has the responsibility to design, develop and implement all aspects of an effective BSA compliance program. Her primary task is to ensure that the compliance programs in her bank are up to date.
However, it is common knowledge that most BSA officers lack the resources needed for creating their own compliance program. Implementing a BSA compliance program is complex also because it requires:
  • Annual updates
  • A board appointed BSA officer
  • A BSA policy
  • Face-to-face training, and
  • A system of internal controls (checklists) to monitor for suspicious activity.
Because of this, BSA officers need to have a deep understanding of this Act. The BSA officers are expected to display a good level of logic and reasoning into their compliance program. This requires them to not only understand what they need to do, but to also have a grasp of why and how they need to do it.

Traininng.com, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance, is organizing a sixty-minute webinar on September 19, at which all these aspects of a Bank Secrecy Act compliance program will be explained. Doug Keipper, a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist, will be the speaker at this session. Please enroll for this valuable learning program by visiting https://www.traininng.com/webinar/bsa-training---tips-&-tools--201037live
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This webinar is a complete primer on the BSA compliance program, having been developed from conversations with FBI, Department of Homeland Security, Banking Regulators and the Financial Task Force of the DEA. Since carrying out annual updates is a quintessential part of implementing the BSA program; this webinar is designed to offer them the tips and tools needed to keep training their staff on a yearly basis.

The aim of this webinar is to equip BSA officers with the knowledge needed to create their own program, for which most banks and credit unions have to stretch their resources. This training will help the participants go beyond just the training needed to understand how to implement their BSA compliance program. They will be able to gain mastery of the material they use for training to such an extent that they will become the subject matter expert in their financial institution.
This expertise will help them present BSA for the new employees, front line staff, lending department and board of directors and make them some kind of a “go to person” for BSA. It is designed to be a "Train the Trainer" course or an annual training for all employees.
This webinar will cover the following areas:
  • Resources available for further study
  • Board of Directors Training
  • Loan Officers Training
  • Front Line Staff Training
  • How to incorporate BSA training into your financial institution
Financial Officers, Secrecy Act Officers, Front Line Staff, Risk Officers, Operational Managers, BSA Analysts, BSA Investigators, CFO's, and Bank or Credit Union Operations Officers are some of the personnel for whose benefit this webinar is being organized.

Introducing The Simple Way To IDENTITY ISSUES In BANKING

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. They devise innovative ways to circumvent the system. For example, they don’t use their real name, address or social security numbers when logging in. They could also use stolen or vicarious identities, making investigation a lot harder to carry out.

Fashion industry ‘waking up’ to benefits of blockchain technology, robotics

Blockchain and robotics are becoming increasingly popular in the global fashion industry as brands look to increase transparency and improve efficiencies, according to GlobalData. While it is still in its infancy, blockchain technology has the potential to transform the global supply chain, says Michelle Russell, apparel correspondent at GlobalData. She says that during the last few years, the adoption of blockchain technology amongst apparel and textile companies has grown substantially as the pressure to have more visibility in the supply chain ramps up. “Its uses are varied as companies use the ledger to address problems in unethical behaviour, excess waste, the origin of goods, and counterfeiting.” German start-up Retraced recently launched a blockchain-based transparency solution that it is trialling with a number of fashion brands. Other examples include OpenSC which received US$4 million in seed funding for its platform that aims to build transparency around commodities know...

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 ...
