JANUARY 30, 2008 MEETING

Joseph F. Hanvey, CAMS

Suspicious Activity Reportable Events

Deloitte – Forensic & Dispute Services

 

The focus of the presentation will be on suspicious activity reportable events that fall outside the traditional understanding of money laundering.  Mr. Hanvey will walk the attendees through an overview of the SAR requirements for banks and broker-dealers and considering it is based in New York, will highlight the reportable events in New York State Banking Department that may not be reportable at the federal level.  Mr. Hanvey will also highlight the architecture of sound industry practices when escalating suspicious activity and end with a fraud case that triggered a New York State filing but not a SAR filing.
