Looking for comments as to whether HR and IT employees should receive AML/BSA training.

They may be in a position to see suspicious activity. They won't need to know how to complete a CTR or file a SAR, but they do need to know what to do when they see something that doesn't seem right.

Insider abuse and computer intrusion are relevant topics for those groups.

Where the heart is
Agreed - there are courses out there that provide a "high-level" overview of the regulation with a focus on Suspicious Activity.

HR and IT don't need to know how to complete a CTR or complete CIP documentation for a new account, but they should be aware of the basic requirements as well as record retention and SAR reporting.

Generally speaking, the type of training you would provide to the Board should be fine for those positions.

For HR I include the list of employee RED flags and requiring confidential referrals for employee suspect activity - change of life style, refusal to take vacation, involuntary terminations due to defalcations, embezzlement, theft, bribery, insider abuse, mysterious disappearance and self-dealing. Also thrown in is the purpose of OFAC and why its part of the background check for potential hires.
