In order to identify customers who are U.S. taxpayers, FFIs will be required to implement due diligence, identification, controls and reporting systems.

10 Correspondent Banking AML Certificate Overview The risks posed by correspondent banking are of concern to regulators, bankers, and brokerdealers in securities alike. Recently, U.S. financial institutions have faced severe penalties as a result of having weak BSA/AML compliance programs for their foreign correspondent banking accounts. The various sections of the USA PATRIOT Act and implementing regulations in the Bank Secrecy Act have been in final form for a number of years now.

This course is designed for both U.S. financial institutions offering correspondent banking as well as for foreign financial institutions which have or are seeking a U.S. correspondent banking relationship.

12 Managers, CEOs & Directors AML Certificate Overview This course focuses on the specific responsibilities and challenges faced by managers and the board of directors. We will also review practical solutions and guidance which managers and directors can use as "best practices, and which can serve as benchmarks to evaluate the AML/BSA compliance programs at their institutions. Outside directors face a special challenge in today s regulatory environment. Directors may not have firsthand knowledge of their banks everyday operations because they are not employees. However, they are expected to be just as knowledgeable about the bank s AML program, its effectiveness, and any potential problems as are management and the compliance department. Regulatory issues are likely to occur if management does not fully understand its responsibilities. Lack of sufficient management support, or lack of management understanding of its critical role, can lead to serious problems for the financial institution.
