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 

Anti-money Laundering (AML) and Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) are two of the recent regulations aimed at containing money laundering. How should banks and financial institutions implement these regulations?

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?
