BSA/AML Reform: Whistleblower Rules

Be sure to JOIN US for our webinar, “BSA/AML New Year Update”. 

Have you heard about the whistleblower requirements that are part of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AMLA)?  Basically, there will be increased incentives for your employees to alert the government to potential BSA/AML violations within your institution.  That’s not all.  If they do blow the whistle, you cannot retaliate against them (fire them, etc.) in any way.  While we don’t have a final rule quite yet, it’s only a matter of time so join us to learn more.

Kevin explains more in the video.

Kevin brings years of experience and a unique perspective on regulatory matters to our clients. A self-proclaimed geek and accredited CRCM, Kevin is also a recovering attorney with experience as in-house counsel for a large regional bank and one of the leading national title insurance providers. For reasons unknown, Kevin decided to leave the safety and serenity of his desk job to seek fortune and glory as a wandering adventurer. Like a bank compliance version of Kwai Chang Caine, The Man with No Name or Don Quixote, he now travels the land seeking to help those in need and righting compliance wrongs, wherever he may find them. Kevin lives in Sioux Falls with his two children, who are surprisingly normal after having endured their father’s vivid imagination for their entire lives. He won’t admit to having any hobbies, because apparently “Regulations never sleep.” (While he does say this in his Batman voice, we’re pretty sure he’s joking.) From the looks of his Facebook page, he likes the outdoors and spending time with his large extended family (who seem like relatively normal people).
