Federal Banking Agencies Release New BSA Manual - 8/12/05
Financial Institutions Client Alert
August 12, 2005
On June 30, 2005, the federal banking agencies jointly released a new Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering Examination Manual. Over the last two years examiners have imposed new requirements on institutions following unfavorable BSA examinations or as part of memoranda of understanding or consent orders. However, it was not always clear that the examiners would expect all institutions to implement the same procedures. The Manual clarifies that many of the requirements we have observed in consent orders and the like are now expected of all institutions.
