How much can it cost to do nothing? Would you believe more than 400 million dollars?

Jeffrey Epstein’s victims sued several large banks and have won huge settlements.  These institutions face financial loss in the millions and reputational damage for allowing millions of criminal transactions to flow through their institution. What does this mean to you? In these settlements the institutions were noted to fail to file Suspicious Transaction Reports and monitor transactions appropriately. We will look at the lessons learned from these settlements of over $400 million and apply those lessons to our own BSA/AML risk programs.

This program will break down the critical SAR and monitoring failures behind recent major settlements and show how you can apply lessons learned directly to your BSA/AML program.

Highlights:

• Allowing transactions that are illicit to flow through your institution can cause harm to people
• SAR filing is subjective and discretionary, but you can be sued when your program fails
• Key red flags for human trafficking and how to write your SAR narrative
• Developing a human trafficking SAR referral form
• Checklist for monitoring
• Red flags for sex and human trafficking
• SAR referral form for human trafficking
• SAR narrative template for human trafficking
