BANK SECRECY ACT RISK ASSESSMENT

(1) Within ninety (90) days of this Order, the Board shall ensure Bank management reviews, updates, and implements an enhanced written institution-wide, ongoing Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”)/Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) Risk Assessment process that timely and accurately identifies the BSA risks posed to the Bank after consideration of all pertinent information (“Risk Assessment”). The Risk Assessment process shall reflect a comprehensive analysis of the Bank’s vulnerabilities to money laundering and financial crimes activity and provide strategies to control risk and limit any identified vulnerabilities. The Risk Assessment methodology shall follow the risk assessment expectations and logic set forth in the 2010 FFIEC Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering Examination Manual (Rev. April 29, 2010) (“FFIEC BSA/AML Examination Manual”) and shall include:

 

  (a) the identification of all activities and other elements that pose BSA/AML risk to the Bank, including, but not limited to, the Bank’s: (i) products and services; (ii) customers and entities; (iii) transactions; (iv) geographic locations; and (v) methods that the Bank uses to interact with its customers (collectively, the “specific risk categories”);

 

  (b)

a detailed analysis of all pertinent data obtained regarding the specific risk categories, including but not necessarily limited to: (i) volumes and types of transactions and services by geographic location, and (ii) numbers of customers that typically pose higher BSA/AML risk, both by type of risk and by geographic location, so as to permit the Bank to revise or develop, as necessary, and implement appropriate policies, processes, and

 

3


  procedures to monitor and mitigate the Bank’s BSA/AML risks within those risk categories. The analysis to be conducted shall include an evaluation of all relevant information obtained through the Bank’s Customer Identification Program (“CIP”), Customer Due Diligence Process (“CDD”), and Enhanced Due Diligence Process (“EDD”);

 

  (c) an assessment of BSA/AML risk both individually within the Bank’s business lines and on a consolidated basis across all Bank activities and product lines;

 

  (d) that the Risk Assessment be updated at least every twelve (12) months so as to identify and respond to changes in the Bank’s risk profile (such as when new products or services are introduced, existing products or services change, there is a material change to high-risk customer accounts or profiles, or the Bank expands through mergers or acquisitions);

 

  (e) maintenance of appropriate documentation, including customer due diligence (“CDD”) and enhanced due diligence (“EDD”) information, so as to be able to support the Risk Assessment’s conclusions; and

 

  (f) independent testing to validate the accuracy and reasonableness of the most recent Risk Assessment. The written results of the independent testing shall be completed not more than ninety days (90) after the effective date of this Order.

(2) Within ninety (90) days of this Order, and at least annually thereafter, the Board shall ensure Bank management reviews, updates, and implements an enhanced written institution-wide, ongoing Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) Risk Assessment process that is separate from the BSA/AML process, which assessment shall include the criteria in Paragraph (1) of this Article, as applicable.

(3) Within one-hundred twenty (120) days of this Order, the Board shall review and approve the BSA Risk Assessment and OFAC Risk Assessment processes and actual assessments. The Board shall review and approve each Risk Assessment at least annually thereafter, and upon receipt of any updates or changes to the Risk Assessment.

(4) The Board shall ensure that the Bank has processes, personnel, and control systems to implement and adhere to the Risk Assessment program developed pursuant to this Article.
