Step into the future of BSA/AML CFT Compliance and fraud prevention at the most dynamic financial crime conference of the year!

With regulatory changes on the horizon, evolving financial crime tactics, and increased scrutiny on high-risk sectors, this power-packed two-day event is your must-attend opportunity to stay ahead. FinCEN’s regulatory shifts, AML risk assessments, and fintech enforcement actions are just a few of the hot topics you
can’t afford to miss.

The IBA Foundation, Inc. prides itself on providing members with one of the best nonprofit banker education programs in the country. The highly acclaimed
Mortgage Lending School addresses the most immediate and relevant training needs of the financial industry.

This two-day school is designed to prepare consumer lenders to meet two primary challenges. The first challenge is to originate loans to qualified consumer and residential borrowers and minimize collection problems and loan losses. The second challenge is to be in compliance at all times with ever-changing fair lending regulations.

The purpose of the IBA Commercial Lending School is to prepare mid-level bankers and commercial loan officers to serve effectively and profitably by developing an understanding of your bank’s risk appetite, risk tolerance, risk culture and the risks assumed in the loan portfolio.

This dynamic event features industry leaders, interactive sessions and networking opportunities designed to foster meaningful connections and inspire innovation.

The Convention serves as the annual meeting of the Association and combines education with social and networking events to bring together members in a relaxed atmosphere.

This two-day program is designed for BSA professionals who are competent in the core requirements of Bank Secrecy Act rules. It will provide an advanced level of training and interactive discussion on the challenges of developing and managing an effective BSA program.

The curriculum extensively covers Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), dedicating ample time to this area due to SARs now encompassing a broader range of topics than ever before. Attendees are encouraged to share "war stories" related to their experiences with SAR filings while gaining a wealth of information from the presenter. Real-life BSA scenarios will also be dissected through these discussions.

This school will include the updated sections of the BSA Exam Manual that were published in 2023. While many of those sections will have minimal impact on your bank, it is crucial for BSA officers to be aware of their existence.

We will engage in discussions covering all of the latest pronouncements. Some introduce new material while others serve as reminders of steps
the bank should have taken or should currently take.

A segment of the program emphasizes BSA program management, including leveraging technology for detecting BSA issues. Additionally, students will learn to design an effective BSA program through the study of provided workflow charts.
