Increased Attention TO AML Laws • The “Bar Continues to Rise” • Recent Enforcement Actions
Summary • The “Bar Continues to Rise” – Be Prepared • Regulatory burden may be high – But the cost of remediating MRAs is much higher • Document, Document, Document – tell your story • Plan for examinations by doing examiners’ work for them • Pick your battles during and after examinations • Regulators have little incentive to take risk • Learn from the mistakes of others • Communicate, communicate and keep communicating • Strengthen and sustain your regulatory relationships – Trust is the key The Cost of Non-Compliance Has Never Been Higher!
