DUBLIN, Aug. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "BSA/AML/OFAC Risk Assessments - Are You Doing Them Correctly" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Although financial institutions have been managing BSA operations as per the regulatory requirements, the change in focus to appropriate BSA/AML/OFAC risk assessment has become increasingly important. Regulators look to the organization for insurance and evidence that BSA operations are appropriately performing risk assessments.
