This Workbook may save you thousands of dollars! The Workbook guides you through each step of the PATRIOT Act independent review requirement. Each question is fully explained, and FinCEN guidance is also included. The format is designed to be acceptable to bank AML compliance departments as well as state and IRS examiners. Some MSBs' operations are very complex and require outside auditors to conduct testing. Yet even in those cases, by doing much of the audit work by yourself, you can significantly reduce the cost spent on outside help. Many MSBs have found that they do not need outside audit help at all and that the Workbook is all they need to maintain compliance and stay in the good graces of their bank. This is the only Bank Secrecy/PATRIOT Act independent review guide endorsed by the National Money TRansmitters Association
