BSA & Monitoring

Written by Kevin Edwards | Mar 28, 2023 7:25:03 PM

Monitoring is a key component of your BSA/AML program. It is imperative that you have systems in place to detect unusual and/or suspicious activity. But, no two institutions are the same, and therefore the way monitoring is implemented and/or conducted can and often does vary.

Kevin explains more in the video.


Video Highlights:

  • Manual monitoring involves individuals (e.g., operations staff, BSA staff) looking for suspicious activity in customer activity reports and individual transactions.
  • Automated monitoring is software-based and looks for higher-risk transactions that need further review.
  • If something appears unusual or doesn't make business sense it could be a potential red flag.
