BankInfoSecurity.com Announces ID Theft – White Collar Crimes Webinar

Princeton, NJ, November 09, 2006 --(PR.com)-- White-collar crime is coming soon to a all banking organizations. What can banks do to prevent it? How well do banks understand the FFIEC’s newly revised ‘Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) Examination Manual’? The new manual is loaded with changes that could challenge an institution’s security procedures and policies. The new FFIEC manual explains supervisory expectations and incorporates regulatory changes that have been put in place since the manual's original 2005 release.

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is working hard to help banking organizations understand and implement processes that comply with the Bank Secrecy Act and protect operations from money laundering and terrorist financing. Are all banks compliant?

A key challenge addressed in the revised manual is white-collar crime. White-collar criminals seek personal financial gain at the expense of companies and investors.

White-collar crime is growing faster than our networked, global economy. Financial institutions are especially at risk. High-profile cases like ‘Enron’ and ‘Arthur Andersen’ are all over the news. Executives everywhere must understand their company’s vulnerabilities and implement secure systems and policies.
