Why Should You Attend:
In recent years, FinCEN has increased its BSA enforcement against non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) and expanded its use of other enforcement authorities. By explaining how NBFIs, primarily, MSBs, violated the BSA, this presentation will help personnel, especially those who implement BSA/AML programs at MSBs, to better understand how to comply with the BSA and avoid being sanctioned by FinCEN.
