Tall order. Given the usual limited time to do due diligence you can't realistically cover "all regs." So keep it risk based. Assuming the target is a community bank:
Start with looking at recent compliance examination reports and audit reports for quick identification of compliance trouble spots. Do some deep dive reviews in higher risk areas like flood insurance, BSA AML, OFAC, etc. The AML risk assessment should identify high-risk products and services that may hint at their overall compliance risk profile.
Ask for the number and dollar amount of HELOCs, Section 32 loans, ARMs, number of MSB customers, number of CTRs and SARs filed. From there you can tailor more deep dives if the numbers indicate higher risk.
