Why you must attend?
AML non-compliance carries severe consequences for FinCEN and NYDFS-regulated institutions in New York. FinCEN civil money penalties, NYDFS enforcement actions, and reputational damage from BSA failures can be existential. For BSA Officers, compliance directors, and senior executives, staying ahead of AML, CFT, and CPF obligations is not optional. It is a regulatory and business imperative.
The AML compliance landscape in New York and across the United States has never been more demanding. FinCEN has significantly strengthened BSA compliance programme requirements. NYDFS Part 504 Transaction Monitoring and Filtering Programme requirements are under intensified regulatory scrutiny. Furthermore, FinCEN has introduced new beneficial ownership requirements expanding customer due diligence obligations. Additionally, New York BitLicense AML requirements have expanded for digital asset businesses. Moreover, OFAC secondary sanctions complexity has increased significantly for New York banks managing international operations.
Shasat’s two-day AML Compliance Workshop in New York addresses these challenges directly. Participants gain in-depth knowledge of FinCEN regulations, BSA requirements, and NYDFS Part 504 obligations. Moreover, they apply customer due diligence, enhanced due diligence, beneficial ownership verification, and SAR filing practically. Furthermore, participants master CTR reporting requirements and OFAC sanctions screening. Real-life case studies from major US financial crime enforcement actions provide practical context.
Every session is delivered by experienced AML practitioners with direct FinCEN and NYDFS advisory experience. Consequently, each session combines US regulatory rigour with global AML compliance insight. Furthermore, participants benefit from peer networking with compliance professionals from across New York and the United States.
