It’s no secret that examiners have a mandate to make BSA a main focus of their audits.  It is therefore important to understand how to keep the credit union in compliance in filing Suspicious Activity Reports and Currency Transaction Reports.  Credit unions are increasingly caught between stricter regulations concerning member data and increasingly broad powers of government to acquire this data.  This seminar will cover the Bank Secrecy Act in detail so that attendees can use this knowledge to keep their credit unions in compliance in this important area of law.
