I am currently conducting a BSA audit. As part of the process, I am reviewing wire transfer procedures as it relates to BSA. It is my understanding that according to the the regulation, records must be retrievable by the name of originator (for originated transfers) and name of beneficiary (for received transfers), and, if they are established customers, by account number. Currently, our files are simply maintained collectively by month and day.
How are your institutions meeting the information retrievability requirement noted above?
