Large banks and securities firms have spent a fortune setting up FIUs
and/or SAR reporting units to deal with managing their alert and investigations
responsibilities. The same wildly expensive consulting help that these financial institutions
coughed up to meet BSA requirements is now available to you for a tiny fraction of the cost! (And when we say tiny, we ain't kidding).
The ImpactAML SAR/FIU Module will give you all the knowledge, templates for reports, procedures and investigatory research
information that you need to meet FinCENs expectations. FinCEN expects your bank
to have processes and procedures in place dealing with:
- Alert & Case Intake
- Case Assessment
- Case Prioritization
- Case Assignment
- SAR Technical and Narrative QC
- SAR Filing, and
- SAR 90 Day Reviews
In fact, Examiners will look at your institution's actual SAR filings as
a window into the efficacy of your AML program. Luckily, with ImpactAML's SAR/FIU Module,
you've got Windex!
Using this module to our BSA Dashboard, you will easily be able to:
- Produce easy to implement and follow investigations procedures
- Set up investigation case files
- Write complete and acceptable SAR Narratives
- Manage the SAR Filing and Review process
- Decrease the training costs and risks associated with new investigators
- File SARs that meet all FinCEN requirements
- Access up to date guidance and best practices
- Eliminate the risks associated with less formal SAR resolution processes
For the price of this module, you could have attended a conferences in Florida or some webinars and such,
and in the end, maybe you come away with some new knowledge, and perhaps a nice tan. What you won't come away
with from those conferences and webinars is an executable blueprint for Investigations and SAR procedures that you can implement immediately.
Take a look at the screen shots of the table of contents for the module below and see what you think. Keep
in mind that all the content behind those links is context sensitive, making navigation
easy and intuitive for what the job is at hand . All the information is also searchable by key words and phrases. For example, need to know what
criminal statute to cite on a SAR form for the alert you've investigated? It's about two seconds away! You can also add on the SAR Activity Review Tool
and virtually search FinCEN's SAR database for your alert and investigation.
This application is worth the hundreds of thousands of dollars that the big institutions paid for it back when they received their Cease and Desist Orders and such. We should know, because we did the work for many of them!
Now, ImpactAML brings all the benefits of a robust SAR and SAR management program to you at a price you cannot afford to pass up.
