WEBINAR DETAILS

We use the instructions, regulations, and guidance to determine when and how to file a Suspicious Activity Report. You will have two major sources of red flags: the systems and the front line. What are your procedures from systems or frontline to investigation to SAR? These procedures could save your financial institution from expensive fraud and money laundering, but if improper, they could result in lack of a systematic approach to the AML program. This detail-driven presentation will include a review of the SAR and its data fields.
