Many times as analysts are working through an AML or BSA investigations they come to an impasse where additional information is needed to continue the review. This is where the analyst will create and send questions to another department who will then reach out to the customer to gather that additional information. But issues arise with this process, because too often front-line employees are not fully knowledgeable in AML or BSA structures and AML investigators do not ask straightforward or fruitful questions to truly gain insight for their investigation. This training will cover tips to establish a system for the branch inquiry process between BSA and front-line staff employees. We will also cover how investigators should be forming and asking fruitful questions to gain an understand of the activity and the customer.
When you utilize the branch inquiry process to its full capabilities and formulate fruitful questions you open up an opportunity to gain so much valuable information, update internal systems, and ensure that you disposition to your investigation is correct and that you have properly mitigated the risk. This training is geared towards making your BSA branch inquiry structure a success.
