Advanced Compliance Technology, Inc. has designated you as the BSA/AML Compliance Officer. You are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the AML/CFT program.
\nYou must file all required reports accurately and on time. Required reports include Currency Transaction Reports, Suspicious Activity Reports, and Currency and Monetary Instrument Reports. You must maintain all records required by federal regulation.
\nYou must design, update, and enforce AML/CFT policies and procedures. You must coordinate and deliver annual AML training to all applicable personnel. You must monitor transactions for suspicious activity and manage the SAR determination and filing process. You serve as the primary contact for regulatory examinations, law enforcement inquiries, and FinCEN communications.
\nYou have direct authority to access all transaction records, customer files, and employee conduct records. You may escalate concerns to the owner or principal without intermediary approval. You may halt or suspend any transaction suspected of involving money laundering, terrorist financing, or sanctions violations pending investigation.
\nYou must provide compliance status updates to the owner or principal no less than quarterly. You must report any material compliance incident to the owner or principal immediately.
\nYou may not conduct Advanced Compliance Technology, Inc.'s independent review of the AML/CFT program. That function must be performed by a qualified external reviewer or an internal party with no operational compliance responsibilities.
\nAdvanced Compliance Technology, Inc. has not designated a backup BSA/AML Compliance Officer. If you are absent or unavailable for an extended period, Advanced Compliance Technology, Inc. will suspend check cashing, money transmission, payment instrument sales, foreign currency exchange operations.
\nYou are responsible for administering and enforcing personnel integrity standards. Before extending any offer of employment, you must conduct a criminal background check covering a minimum of seven years. Applicants with convictions related to financial crimes, fraud, theft, or money laundering are automatically disqualified. You must verify each applicant's identity, employment history, and professional references. You must screen all applicants against the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list before extending any offer.
\nEmployees with transaction-processing or compliance responsibilities must promptly report personal financial difficulties, unusual personal financial activity, and any outside employment that could create a conflict of interest. You must enforce these requirements. Employees may not process transactions for personal acquaintances outside standard company procedures without supervisor approval.
\nAny employee who deliberately circumvented AML/CFT controls faces immediate suspension pending investigation and termination upon a finding of cause. The same consequences apply to an employee who assisted a customer in structuring transactions or who failed to report known suspicious activity. You must report confirmed violations to the owner or principal and, where legally required, to the appropriate regulatory authority.
