Download or read book Independent Audit Manual written by Patrick Kabamba and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-03 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Independent audit of the bank's Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) policies, procedures and processes is one statutory requirement of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). In addition, it is a regulatory requirement of bank regulators because it is one of the sound risk management practices. The independent audit helps the bank's board of directors and management to evaluate the effectiveness of the bank's BSA/AML policies and implement stronger controls as needed. In addition, one of the most important ways to ensure that bank's anti-money laundering policy is in compliance with BSA/AML regulations is to subject it to independent audits. Regular internal audits are always recommended, but external auditors have the distance and perspective needed to give the bank further confidence in its BSA/AML policies, procedures and processes.The independent audit focuses on how the bank's policies, procedures, and processes are organized to support BSA/AML compliance. Given the complexity and importance of the issue, it is critical for the bank to hire a consultant who is an expert in the BSA/AML policy intent and the regulatory apparatus that goes with it. Best practice is to conduct the external audit every 12 to 18 months.

Download or read book Preventing Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2009 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Money laundering and terrorist financing are serious crimes that affect not only those persons directly involved, but the economy as a whole. According to international standards, every bank has the obligation to know its customers and to report suspicious transactions. Although these obligations sound straightforward, they have proved challenging to implement. What information precisely has to be gathered? How should it be recorded? If and when does one have to file a suspicious transaction report? It is here that a supervisor can play a crucial role in helping supervised institutions; first, in understanding the full extent of the obligations of Customer Due Diligence and Suspicious Transaction Reports (STR) and, second, in ensuring that those obligations are not just words on paper but are applied in practice. Effective supervision is key to the success of a country's AML/CFT system. In this regard, field work in both developed and developing countries has shown an overall low compliance in the area of supervision of banks and other financial institutions; supervisory compliance is indeed generally lower than the average level of compliance with all Financial Action Task Force recommendations. As a result, by providing examples of good practices, this book aims to help countries better conform to international standards. In this regard, this handbook is specifically designed for bank supervisors.

This book was released on 2022-08-11 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Money laundering and terrorist financing undermine the integrity and stability of financial systems and can have a significantly adverse impact on a jurisdiction's economy. Challenges to effective supervision and prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism were exacerbated in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, with financial institutions' need for funds at times undermining vigilance as to the provenance of those funds. As such, supervisors often, and prudently, focused on coping with the crisis. Since 2009, when the first edition of this handbook was published, challenges to the integrity and stability of financial systems have continued to evolve. Money-laundering and terrorist-financing risks continue to threaten the reputations of financial institutions and entire financial sectors, exposing institutions to the possibility of severe enforcement action by public authorities or the loss of correspondent relationship facilities by their private sector counterparts. This second edition reflects the evolving challenges to the integrity and stability of financial systems, recent trends in enforcement actions by country authorities, and changes to international standards, notably an emphasis on a risk-based approach. This practical handbook supports the implementation of international standards established by the Financial Action Task Force and other bodies, * Providing examples of money-laundering and terrorist-financing supervisory frameworks in a range of countries; * Describing best practices for the supervision and enforcement of money-laundering and terrorist-financing laws and regulations; * Offering practical advice on how a particular jurisdiction might incorporate enforcement of the laws and regulations on money laundering and terrorist financing into its supervisory framework. Designed specifically for bank supervisors, this guide will also be of interest to readers working in the areas of finance, corruption prevention, law, accounting, and corporate governance.
