• Understand the expanded whistleblower protections and how those may lead to significantly increased civil and criminal enforcement of AML violations
• Avoid and protect your institution from new penalties
• Recognize how the AMLA strengthens FinCEN
• Explain the revised BSA declaration of purpose

WEBINAR DETAILS

The National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2021 was passed by the Senate despite a Presidential veto.

• A beneficial ownership database constructed by the federal government
• Streamlining SARs and CTRs
• A study to increase exemption levels for CTRs and thresholds
• New whistleblower protections
• A study on how to provide inclusion for charities and nonprofits
• Required annual training for examiners

Attendance certificate provided to self-report CE credits.
