Abstract
Staying compliant with the evolving regulatory landscape of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) has always been challenging. With the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the fiscal year 2021, increased scrutiny and heightened penalties are expected. Amidst these changes, financial institutions also grapple with imminent credit and liquidity risks which, if not mitigated, could significantly affect operations and revenue.

To be able to seamlessly navigate these complexities, integrating an AML technology solution designed to increase efficiency, compliance, and profitability becomes imperative.

Abrams (Steptoe & Johnson LLP) as they provide a comprehensive discussion on how financial institutions can leverage the use of technology to meet their BSA/AML obligations.
