NEW YORK FINANCIAL REGULATOR PROPOSES MASSIVE UPGRADE IN REQUIRED CERTIFIED COMPLIANCE PROGRAM, AND PERSONAL LIABILITY FOR CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER

It is strongly suggested that you review the details of this proposed Part 504, Banking Division Transaction Monitoring and Filtering Program Requirements and Certifications, because, when enacted, it will radically change what constitutes best practices in the field of the AML/CFT, since all financial institutions conducting business in New York would be forced to upgrade accordingly.
