(requires Windows Media Player and IE).
A BSA audit is one of the most important parts of a strong BSA program.
Banks have been cited for inadequate audits and required to have new audits performed. This is a serious concern since the independent audit is one of the required elements of a BSA program.
How can a bank be certain its BSA audit will satisfy regulators and provide the bank and its board of directors with the information needed to manage BSA risk? A BSA audit goes beyond checking for accuracy.
This webinar will assist banks in:
Evaluating the scope of the audit
Determining the adequacy of transaction testing
Evaluating the adequacy of the bank's risk assessment
Ensuring that ongoing monitoring covers all areas that present risk to the bank so that there are no gaps where suspicious activity could go unnoticed
Assessing the adequacy of the written BSA/AML/OFAC program
Assessing the adequacy of the bank's BSA training program and related documentation
Evaluating the written report and audit workpapers
Considering the benefits of external vs internal audits
Who should attend?
This session is designed for:
Internal and external auditors
BSA/AML officers
Risk management and/or fraud officers
Senior management and audit committee members
