Regulators gave financial institutions two years to get ready for new requirements that promised to fundamentally change the procedures they use to gather information about the one thing that is central to all of their business models: customers. In preparation for the May 11 implementation of the Customer Due Diligence Rule, many covered financial institutions have upgraded their technology, systems, procedures, and training to accommodate the changes it will bring.

Their efforts, however, have not guaranteed peace of mind. Prudential regulators have already signaled their intention to begin examining banks for compliance shortly after the effective date, but neither they nor FinCEN have issued any examination procedures or meaningful guidance on the rule itself. Given the policy goals of the new rule, regulators will have high expectations for institutions of all size.

Please join Buckley Sandler and invited panelists for a discussion of the final CDD rule, the issues and ambiguities it presents, and practical advice for implementing the new requirements.

The discussion will address the following topics:

What should covered financial institutions be doing to prepare for the May 11 compliance deadline?

What areas are examiners most likely to focus on when they assess compliance?

When will examiners expect financial institutions to go beyond minimum requirements?

What changes are expected to onboarding procedures, Customer Due Diligence and Enhanced Due Diligence, Customer Identification, IT, vendor management, etc.?

How best to address the key issues and “gray areas”?

What are expectations with respect to SARs, CTRs, OFAC, and 314(a)?
