The Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering Basics Briefing provides a review of the fundamentals that will be addressed during this more advanced program. 


Why You Should Attend

Money laundering is a global issue. Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) / Counter-Financing of Terrorism (“CFT”) regulation and enforcement continues to evolve and has grown dramatically in breadth and sophistication – just as illicit actors continue to find new and creative methods to launder their illegal proceeds. These issues present unique legal challenges and impact financial institutions, executives and professionals.  

Regulators and prosecutors continue to focus on high-risk customers, third-party relationships, and the potential misuse of shell companies, trusts, and other entities to conceal the source or control of funds used to purchase assets and make investments. Financial institutions seek compliance but stress the need to reduce regulatory burdens and provide flexibility for new technologies and industries to grow.  

2025 will be another significant year in AML/CFT regulation, compliance and enforcement FinCEN recently has issued, and is looking to finalize, new regulations on the effectiveness of AML compliance programs and BSA reporting requirements. However, a new Administration may bring a new perspective to regulation and enforcement. Further, the evolving role of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency remains a key enforcement and regulatory issue. Meanwhile, significant prosecutions and forfeiture actions will continue.
