Overview:

Staying compliant with the evolving regulatory landscape of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) has always been challenging. With the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the fiscal year 2021, increased scrutiny and heightened penalties are expected. Amidst these changes, financial institutions also grapple with imminent credit and liquidity risks which, if not mitigated, could significantly affect operations and revenue.

Now, more than ever, financial service providers need to strengthen their BSA/AML compliance approaches and improve their transaction monitoring systems. To be able to seamlessly navigate these complexities, integrating an AML technology solution designed to increase efficiency, compliance, and profitability becomes imperative.

Join financial services regulation practitioners Evan T. Abrams (Steptoe & Johnson LLP) and Simon Moss (Symphony AyasdiAI) as they provide a comprehensive discussion on how financial institutions can leverage the use of technology to meet their BSA/AML obligations.

  • Risk mitigation is directly correlated to transparency of operations. That transparency is directly correlated to the "yield" of information that can be cost effectively and clearly discovered within the diverse and distributed data that represent those operations. Without effective informational yield, transparency is opaque and as a result risk increases, as does the opportunity for competitiveness and top line growth.
  • The "data debt" in modern financial institutions remains challenging for effective, timely risk decisions. As a result, organizations remain vulnerable to attacks both from within and without, and particularly vulnerable to being arbitraged to facilitate the financial underpinnings of global organized crime, rogue states, terror and the narco-economy.
  • To solve these challenges new innovations are coming online - in data management, in deep discovery and in maximizing transparency in the customer, employee, market, process and product risk. A lot of promises are being made. Too many, and resulting failures are often preventing the realization of this potential, and at worst institutionalizing the very risks intended to be addressed.
  • But some successes are leading the way in driving transparency into the organization. The result is not just solid, balanced risk decisions, but an optimization of the competitive and customer posture of the institution.

  • On January 1, 2021, the United States enacted the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (“NDAA”), which contained within it the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (“AMLA”), containing the most significant amendments to US AML laws since 2001.
  • The changes cover topics ranging from whistleblowers to beneficial ownership disclosure to digital assets.
  • A number of the changes were effective upon enactment of the AMLA, but others require regulatory action by FinCEN or other government agencies.
  • Given the number of recent changes and changes likely in the months ahead, it is a particularly important time for financial institutions to track these developments and understand how their compliance obligations may have changed or be likely to change.
  • Among other topics, the Webinar will aim to cover key changes in the AMLA, ongoing AML rulemakings, and what to watch for in the months ahead.
