WEBINAR DETAILS

On October 10, 2024, the following was in a consent order issued by FinCEN:

TD Bank vastly underinvested in its AML compliance efforts, with TD Bank knowingly spending an order of magnitude less than its peers. Additionally, the Bank’s AML staffing was not proportionate to its size, risk profile, and ongoing compliance concerns: during the periods of TD Bank’s most acute issues (including those related to backlogs from insufficient staffing), AML spending remained flat. […] The systemic failures of TD Bank’s AML program caused actual and material harm to the U.S. financial system. (Emphasis added.)

Would you want this statement in a public consent order about your financial institution? This program will look at lessons learned for smaller institutions. This 99-page consent order and $1.3 billion fine from FinCEN has some golden nuggets for financial institutions trying to run a good program. Join us to learn more.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This informative session will benefit BSA/AML officers, management, directors, and compliance and training staff.
