Anti Money Laundering

Use this when you're building or reviewing BSA/AML compliance programs for broker-dealers, banks, or investment advisers. It covers the four pillars of FINRA Rule 3310, walks through CTR and SAR filing obligations with specific thresholds and deadlines, and explains OFAC screening requirements against the SDN list. The guidance on structuring detection and the tipping-off prohibition is especially practical if you're handling edge cases around suspicious activity reporting. It's written at Layer 9, so expect regulatory framework and compliance procedures rather than implementation code. Good for understanding when a $10,000 cash transaction needs reporting or whether that wire to a sanctioned country requires blocking.

Core Concepts

BSA Framework — Key Hooks

The operative statutes and authorities: the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. §§ 5311–5332) as expanded by the USA PATRIOT Act (2001), which added enhanced due diligence requirements, information-sharing provisions (Sections 314(a) and 314(b)), and the written AML program requirement. FinCEN, a bureau of the U.S. Treasury, administers the BSA, issues implementing rules (31 CFR Chapter X), and collects CTRs and SARs.
