Why Me?

• It’s required• Your Supervisors expect you to make the compelling case that

you govern yourselves well in all respects – AML is no exception• As a Board Director you need to understand your organization’s

risk and control environment • You need to set risk appetite• You need to approve the BSA officer and acknowledge and

accept the BSA/AML program• You need to understand the program information that

management will report to you• You might get a call• You very likely have something to contribute.

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Training and Awareness

• Training• Awareness

– What’s the organization’s vulnerability / risk?– What safeguards / defenses / controls are in place to manage the risk? What are our lines of

defense?– What’s the BSA/AML/OFAC history of the organization?

• Program• Compliance• Examination • Audit

– History and context – why are things the way they are today?– What is management’s strategic and operational planning process? – How do we compare to others?– What has employee turnover been like?– Predictions?

• Awareness is not passive – it also embraces continuing conversations that you need to have.

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Training and Awareness

• Management’s challenge -- keeping information “big picture”, salient, interesting

• Feedback to management– Ask why do I need to know this?– Here’s what I want to know and understand– Here’s what I want to stay informed about.

• Board and Senior Management together– Need to be on same page– Need to be part of the same conversation– AML / financial crimes / sanctions– Surprises are not usually nice ones.

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

AML 101

• Everybody • Most “covered” organizations rely on Computer-Based

Training (CBT) these days for basic training. • Regulators expect (and require) that all employees and

service providers of consequence receive at least AML 101. So should the Board.

• New versus seasoned board members• Basic requirements for 101 full board training

– Understanding and accepting a refreshed program– Program components– Appointing the BSA Officer (rule)– Training (rule)– Independent Testing (rule).

AML 101 . . .

• What is a “sound practice” written program?1. Board-approved “policy framework”2. Enterprise-wide guidance and standard3. Implementing and operating policies and procedures.

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Three levels of documentation . . .

1. What is a Board-approved “policy framework”?– Just what it sounds like -- what are our policies? – Fewer than 100 pages, uncluttered – Also define the senior actors (positions, units, and

committees of consequence) and their roles– No names (they will change tomorrow).

Page 15: AML Training and Awareness for Boards and Senior Managementcontent.aba.com/briefings/3015115.pdf · The ABA Briefing, “AML Training and Awareness for Boards and Senior Management”

11/7/2016

6

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Three levels of documentation . . .

2. What are “guidance and standards”?

– Also < 100 pages – Global and enterprise-

wide– Soft law versus hard law.

• Important areas:– Code of Conduct, Tone-

at-the-top, ethics– The KYCs– Training– Diversity and inclusion– Social responsibility– Social media– Protecting people, assets,

reputation– Conflicts of interest– Reporting violations.

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Three levels of documentation . . .

3. What are implementing and operating policies and procedures?• Who, what, why, when, where, how• Bookshelves• Business units and support areas of consequence• Need to be orchestrated by compliance in a well-organized

manner.• Well-maintained. • Examiners and auditors test them. Depend on it.

11/7/2016

7

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

(More) sound practice documentation

– Meeting agendas– Well-written, reviewed, and approved minutes

• You should receive and review them before the meeting and before accepting them.

– Action items, results, follow-up– Clear and meaningful management and Board reports– Clear written communications that spell “living and

breathing”. This is evidence that your program is working as intended

– Less More is more. • Copious minutes, emails, memoranda, frequent web-site

updates demonstrate that the Program is active and energized and that there are many active players.

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

AML 401 . . .

• AML Training is also risk-based. It is a sound practice that higher risk and specialized areas receive more advanced, specialized, and tailored training.

• Where committee oversight recommends • Committee structure and charters

– Audit committee– Compliance committee– Risk committee– Ad hoc committees.

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Understanding Risk

• Regulatory risk frameworks differ– Supervisor to supervisor– Country to country– Basel seeks to set a global model, standards.

• Common denominator– All frameworks identify and define a set of quantitative

and qualitative risks.

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Understanding Risk . . .

• Quantitative Risks (examples)– Interest rate– Liquidity– Exchange rate– Credit.

• Not really about AML, financial crime, sanctions

Page 18: AML Training and Awareness for Boards and Senior Managementcontent.aba.com/briefings/3015115.pdf · The ABA Briefing, “AML Training and Awareness for Boards and Senior Management”

11/7/2016

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Understanding Risk . . .

• Qualitative Risks– Compliance– Reputational– Operational – Strategic

• Absolutely about AML, financial crime, sanctions . . .

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Understanding Risk . . .

• FFIEC BSA/AML Exam Manual– Customers– Products and Services– Geographies… (everyone knows this)

• But AML risk assessment processes tend to focus on these and may not get their arms around reputational and strategic risk in the business units and support areas.

Page 19: AML Training and Awareness for Boards and Senior Managementcontent.aba.com/briefings/3015115.pdf · The ABA Briefing, “AML Training and Awareness for Boards and Senior Management”

11/7/2016

10

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Understanding Risk . . .

• You need to set risk appetite for the organization. So management needs to provide you with a comprehensive AML risk assessment at least annually (with an executive summary).

• Risk assessment process should be more of a going concern than a one-shot sprint.

• Management’s risk assessment challenges that you want to get a comfort level about:

– What are the risk assessment units?– How does management get to “apples and apples” unit-wise, trend-wise?– Why is management comfortable with the process? Data integrity? What is the technology

of the risk assessment process? Is it a spreadsheet factory?– What are the opportunities for improvement next go-round? Are you getting a sense of

continuous improvement? – What have examiners and auditors observed about your risk assessment process? What

recommendations have been made? Have they been acted on? – How does management enforce salient, substantive response? – What are the controls over responses, completeness, certifications, supervisory or

compliance review, analysis? Are results properly reviewed and discussed for rationality, meaningfulness?

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Understanding Risk . . .

• To keep your head above water, keep asking management these very big questions:– What bad things have happened recently at organizations like

ours?– What bad things do you worry about happening here?– What is the likelihood of those bad things happening here? – If one of those bad things happened, how bad would it be?

What would the consequences be?– Do we have a “plan in a can” ready to deploy should a bad

thing happen here?– And as Board Directors, what would our role be? How should

we prepared to help?

Understanding Control . . .

aba.com 1-800-BANKERS

Universal control framework

COSO* Framework for Enterprise Risk Management

• Has become a global standard • Not just about financial reporting Model clearly highlights four

control objectives universal to organizations, add: Operational Compliance Strategic.

*COSO Enterprise Risk Management – Integrated Framework Executive Summary September 2004

Page 21: AML Training and Awareness for Boards and Senior Managementcontent.aba.com/briefings/3015115.pdf · The ABA Briefing, “AML Training and Awareness for Boards and Senior Management”

11/7/2016

12

aba.com 1-800-BANKERS

COSO . . .

• At this point, many boards are, and most audit committees are reasonably well-versed with the COSO framework of internal control.

– More maturity with respect to using the model in connection with the financial reporting control objective

– Basis of an important auditing standard (understanding the control environment)

– Sarbanes – Oxley.• COSO ERM model works very well for AML / financial crime /

sanctions vis-à-vis the other three control objectives• Keep in mind that money laundering and financial reporting are

vectors askew– Money laundering doesn’t affect financial statements, results of

operations.– Material fraud can and quite likely will.

• The best – worst customer principle • Important conversations especially for the audit, compliance,

and risk committees.

aba.com 1-800-BANKERS

COSO . . .

The COSO ERM model is comprehensive to activities at all levels of the organization:

• Enterprise-level• Business unit or subsidiary• Business unit processes • Support area processes.

History and context

• Most program training is about “what” and not about the “why”. Awareness begs the “why”.

• BSA / AML history is very interesting, compelling like a best-seller action novel.

• Important to understand why things are the way they are today, and to get a sense of where we are headed.

• Meaningful Board engagement requires meaningful comprehension and interest.

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Important and interesting to know . . .

• How the BSA of 1970 was a Congressional reaction to tax evasion and not really much about money laundering on opening night.

• How the CTR requirement went virtually ignored and unenforced until the Federal Reserve made an example of the Bank of Boston in 1986; how that resulted in a flood of CTRs; how that has led to today’s continuing conversation regarding usefulness to law enforcement and the risk to financial institutions.

• How the BSA has been amended by Congress more than 100 times and why (you don’t need to know them all).

• The vast power that Congress has delegated to the Treasury Secretary, most of which has gone unexercised over the past 46 years.

• That not a few of those amendments have been to force the Treasury Secretary to exercise that power, and not necessarily with the best wishes of the incumbent administration.

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Important and interesting to know . . .

• How the scope of the “BSA covered financial institution” expanded from conventional deposit-taking and lending institutions, products and activities to all manner of bank and non-bank financial institutions, and the wild card.

• How the BSA expanded from Currency Transaction Reporting to Suspicious Activity Reporting, the impact of that to covered financial institutions, and lessons learned, especially by other countries with orchestra seats.

• How the playing field got more level and the impact.

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Important and interesting to know . . .

• How BCCI made money laundering and financial crime a “global phenomenon”, and made it the agenda de jour of a G-7 annual economic summit

• How that resulted in the Financial Action Task Force, the “global AML watchdog” and landed it in the OECD.

• How the United Nations and the Bretton Woods institutions got involved and their impact

• How the U.S. AML model and regime differ from most others and why, and the impact

• How the Congressional privacy rebellion at the turn of the century impacted Know Your Customer and how September 11 and the USA PATRIOT Act put an end to that almost overnight.

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Important and interesting to know . . .

• How the BSA implementing regulators have responded, the impact of their response on those they supervise today, how that has affected the institution you govern, and why your AML/CTF and sanctions compliance programs are almost always the most pervasive and expensive programs in covered financial institutions today.

• The extraordinary regulatory and law enforcement challenges facing the U.S. AML regime today, and the armies of people who play a roletoday.

Case history is vast and full of “lessons learned”. It’s invaluable to hear and discuss cases and their consequences at every opportunity.

aba.com1-800-BANKERS

Know Your Customer and the Dance of the Seven Veils

• Everyone has a KYC et al. program, and tries to sustain and enhance their KYC programs and KYC cultures.

• It’s important to keep in mind that AML / financial crime is only one of seven reasons that KYC is important . . .

The Seven Veils of KYC . . .

• Fundamentally, KYC is good business.• ML, fraud, related financial crime, terror financing, CIP,

beneficial owner, controlling interest• Global sanctions and lists (including suspected

terrorists)• Corruption• Suitability, sales practices, consumer protection• Privacy preferences and protections• Tax compliance, “qualified intermediaries”, FATCA.

Managing 2017 Compliance Priorities Presented by: ABA Center for Regulatory Compliance Wednesday, December 14, 2016 ▪ 2:00–4:00 p.m. ET*

Members of the American Bankers Association’s Financial Institutions Policy and Regulatory Affairs (FIPRA) Group will provide insights on how recent regulatory developments will impact how you manage your compliance risk and examination challenges in 2017 and beyond. Our panel of ABA experts will give you pointers about what you might expect from regulatory agencies and Congress as only ABA can. Learn what to do to keep pace with the changing regulatory landscape. This program is not a regulation training session, but is designed to give you an update that will help you identify compliance risks to support your assessment process and stay ahead of the evolving compliance oversight curve. Check your “to do list” against our suggestions about what to prepare for in 2017.
