Who has this responsibility in your community bank? Compliance Department? C.O.O.? I.S.O.? This person keeps up on changes and prepares risk assessments, etc.

Electronic Banking Manager with insight from the Compliance Officer completes a comprehensive risk assessment. The Internal Auditor is an AAP and completes the Annual ACH Audit requirement with presentation to the Audit Committee and Board.

Operations Officer along with Compliance prepares the risk assessment. Annual audit is outsourced.

It's difficult to get seperation of duty in a small bank. I complete both the ACH audit and the risk assessment, with reports going to our Operations and Management committees and the Board. I'm not an AAP, but I have been with my small bank for about 100 years working within the ACH framework since about day one and have kept up with the rule changes. I have also been our Reg E Compliance Officer (I manage Bancard), and do a compliance review while I'm at it. The key for us is that I am not part of the daily ACH operations.

Thanks, everyone. Looks like this doesn't fall under the ISO's hat.
Makes sense for a combo oversight for us: Ops Mgr. and Compliance.

I'm in charge of both Operations and Compliance and one of my staff members in Ops is responsible for ACH.
