Be prepared: BSA Independent Test requirements

Have you seen NCUA's Letter to Credit Union Supervisory Priorities for 2020?

If not... take a look here .

Once again BSA tops the list! BSA has been a priority since NCUA launched its Office of National Examinations & Supervision in 2013. Along with the changes in 2013 came a more risk focused approach to credit union examinations.

One of the best ways to ensure you are ready for today's priorities, including BSA, is to have your program reviewed. Specifically in 2020, NCUA will be examining for BSA compliance with customer due diligence and beneficial owner requirements (effective May 2018), as well as timely and informative filing of SARs and CTRs

  • Does your annually required BSA Independent Test seamlessly integrate into your credit union operations?
  • Does your current approach include problem remediation tracking and re-review of identified problems, when necessary?
  • Do you have a library of short videos that can help your credit union improve BSA performance?

if not, see how the AffirmX Risk Intel platform through CU Risk Intelligence can give you more than just the required Independent Test!
