Anti-Money Laundering Programs, Independent Testing, and Training

A strong Anti-Money Laundering Program can mitigate the regulatory, reputational, and operational risks associated with your business.

Investment advisers, broker-dealers, and other financial services firms are required to adhere to various anti-money laundering (AML) laws and regulations and develop AML programs to mitigate the regulatory, reputational, and operational risks associated with their businesses.  These firms must also consider anti-bribery regulations, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) regulations, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) compliance obligations, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rules, etc.
