Point #1: Past Observations and Recommendations
Question: Have you remediated all past issues/ findings?
aba.com 1-800-BANKERS
Past Observations/ Recommendations
The most common exam planning points
Past observations and recommendations can derive from several sources:– Report of Examination– Supervisory Letter– Consent Order/ Formal Agreement– Internal Audit Reports– Self‐Testing Reports
Examiners focus on understanding how issues have been resolved, including the sustainability of the controls
View point that past observations/ recommendations are not “closed”/ “remediated” until adequately tested or validated by Internal Audit
Important to have well documented plans and strategy for longer‐term corrective action project

Past Observations/ Recommendations
How to Prepare for Your Next Exam
Inventory all open Internal Audit, Self‐Testing, and Regulatory observations/ recommendations
Ensure remediation efforts are complete and well‐documented in terms of resolution
For remediation activities that are still ongoing, ensure that appropriate documentation is retained to support remediation progress
Ensure the organization’s testing program has tested remediation efforts and concluded on their achievement/ success

aba.com 1-800-BANKERS1010
Point #2: Changes in Risk Profile
Question: Have you experienced a significant event that has caused a change in your AML risk profile?
9/19/2016
6
aba.com 1-800-BANKERS
Changes in Risk Profile
There is a continued emphasis from Regulators on an organization’s ability to identify and respond to changes in their AML risk profile.
Failure to understand AML risk associated with new products, services, and customer segments is an underlying theme of most enforcement actions
Examiners are focusing not just on the identification and response to changes in AML risk, but how timely the organization is able to both identify and respond to these changes.
Measuring, analyzing, and responding to risks through the annual risk assessment process presents challenges and does not meet Regulator’s increased expectations.
11
aba.com 1-800-BANKERS
Changes in Risk Profile
Changes in an organization’s AML risk profile may occur periodically and may be the result of both internal and external events. Examples include:
– Implementation of new software or technology;– Turnover or changes in staff;– Introduction of new products or services; – Geographic expansion; – Acquisitions or combinations;– Growth in high risk product or customer segments; and– Changes in geographic risk.
An effective response to changes starts with a comprehensive and transparent assessment of risk, not just an exercise of compliance
The identification of changes, and their assessment of risk, should effectively allow for the flow of resources, investment, and infrastructure to manage the change in risk to the organization.
12
9/19/2016
7
aba.com 1-800-BANKERS
Changes in Risk Profile
Revisit how your organization identifies events or changes in risk.• Do you have effective process for timely, or proactive, identification of risk
changes?
Understand any significant changes or events that have occurred since your prior examination.
Ensure the risks associated with any changes or events have been assessed and well‐documented.
Evaluate the sustainability of any controls implemented as a result of AML risk profile changes.

Point #3: AML Systems and Tools
Question: Are your systems prepared to meet the growing complexity of AML processes and growing regulatory expectations?
9/19/2016
8
aba.com 1-800-BANKERS
AML Systems
AML systems are increasingly the cornerstone of an effective AML program
The failure of systems relied upon for AML compliance is the leading factor associated with fines, penalties, and enforcement actions
Examples of AML systems include transaction monitoring, customer risk rating, and sanctions list screening
The dynamics and sophistication of AML systems have advanced significantly over the last several years
Strong system/model governance overseeing aspects of system development/implementation, validation, and ongoing use.
15
aba.com 1-800-BANKERS
AML System Risks
Risk Risk Example
Design and Development RiskThe system is not aligned to identify typologies of money laundering and financial crime consistent with products, services, and geographies
Implementation Risk System is incorrectly configured to account for relevant business and regulatory requirements
Input Processing Risk System data is inaccurate, incomplete, or stale
Performance Risk Product or customer risks change overtime with adjustments not properly applied to the system
Output and Use Poor business decisions are applied to the system output
16
9/19/2016
9
aba.com 1-800-BANKERS
System/Model Risk Management
Have we identified all of our AML models?
Did we implement the model correctly and do we have documentation to prove it?
Have we independently validated that the model is performing as intended?
Are we calibrating the model thresholds and parameters overtime?
Do we have the right system controls to ensure the performance of the model overtime?
17
aba.com 1-800-BANKERS
AML Systems
Ensure you have inventoried and identified all the systems and models used to support the organization’s AML compliance program
Ensure system or model output is up‐to‐date and free of back‐logs
Verify that supporting systems and models have been tested and/ or validated
Ensure AML system and model governance controls are aligned to bank‐wide governance policies
Ensure that past findings from model validations or system testing have been fully remediated

Point #4: Independent Testing
Question: Does your internal audit staff have the capabilities required to effectively assess AML compliance?
aba.com 1-800-BANKERS
AML Independent Testing
AML/BSA and Sanctions audit is the most frequently cited violation
Evaluated by Regulators during the exam planning, but also throughout the exam
Examiners are increasingly leveraging audit results and workpapers to shape an examination

Increased focus on the depth, quality, and coverage of testing performed
20
9/19/2016
11
aba.com 1-800-BANKERS
AML Independent Testing
Auditors are increasingly challenged to audit to not just to regulations, but also to examiner expectations– Including credible challenge to established policies, procedures, and controls
Increased attention to audit’s ability to audit changes in risk, remediation of past issues, and new regulations and guidance
Regulatory view point that past regulatory and audit issues remain open until effectively tested or validated
The most successful organizations look to AML audit as an opportunity to flush out and address issues prior to an examination
21
aba.com 1-800-BANKERS
AML Independent Testing
Ensure you have the right mix of both AML and internal audit professionals completing audit activities
• Includes both internal and external resources
Determine if the remediation of any past regulatory exam or audit issues have been successfully tested/ validated by internal audit
Verify that internal audit personnel are informed of significant changes in your AML risk profile
Verify that significant changes in your AML risk profile have been tested or evaluated by internal audit
• Includes new products and services, acquisitions, combinations, etc.

Point #5: AML Resources/ Staffing
Question: Does your bank have a plan in place to help leaders address and resolve AML risks?
aba.com 1-800-BANKERS
AML Resources and Staffing
AML professional expertise is in significant demand
The depth and quality of AML resources is a significant exam evaluation point
Increased focus on AML professionals ability to effect change and influence
Examiners are looking for indicators of insufficient resources during the examinations• Past due reporting, backlogs, slow response to change, etc

have sufficient, competent resources
24
9/19/2016
13
aba.com 1-800-BANKERS
AML Resources and Staffing
Increased regulatory focus on the resources supporting the compliance program, not just staffing
– Includes enabling technology, tools, and systems supporting the compliance program
The degree and complexity of needed resources may increase as an organization’s risk profile changes
Examiner focused on understanding that the right level of technology and tools are maintained commensurate with an organization’s risk profile
‐ Examples may include transaction monitoring systems, customer risk scoring systems, case management platforms, etc
Enabling technology and tools should align with an organization’s current business and regulatory needs, as well as align to the strategic direction of the organization
25
aba.com 1-800-BANKERS
AML Resources/Staffing
Verify that resumes and CVs for AML professionals are up to date and current
Perform capacity assessment or employ use of capacity model to monitor resource needs
