Curriculum

AML standards dictate that understanding beneficial ownership and those with a controlling stake in the organization is an essential part of a bank’s AML program. While the rule is already in effect, many organizations have questions surrounding the rule and how it must be followed. Particularly when bank employees are tasked with identifying complex ownership structures. There can be multiple ownership layers with different types of corporate entities in different jurisdictions, as well as different terminology, further obscuring the true owner. These intricate layers make it a struggle for FIs to verify the customer.

Join this must-attend banking webinar for an informative and in-depth look at the Beneficial Ownership rules.  Learn how to identify the beneficial owner of complicated structures, the steps needed to verify the identity of any beneficial owner, and how to get the proper documentation, resolutions and beneficial ownership in these unique entities.

This BSA Compliance Webinar will cover:

  • Beneficial ownership requirements 
  • Enhanced due diligence procedures
  • Exclusions and exemptions under the rule
  • Proper methods of data collection and assessment 
  • The 3 Steps to knowing your customer’s customer
  • Business structures and how to handle a trust as owner of a business
