Here is the honest situation. The Bank Secrecy Act and its FinCEN regulations require financial institutions to run a risk-based AML program built on the pillars: a compliance officer, internal controls, training, independent testing, and customer due diligence including beneficial ownership. On top sit the Customer Identification Program, transaction monitoring, Suspicious Activity Reports, Currency Transaction Reports, recordkeeping and OFAC sanctions screening. An institution that means well but cannot show its risk assessment, its SAR decisions or its independent testing is exactly where institutions fall short in an examination.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is the BSA/AML requirements written as adopt-ready controls you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence an examiner examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
Grounded in the Bank Secrecy Act and FinCEN regulations, with the AML program pillars, the compliance officer, the risk assessment, CIP, customer due diligence and beneficial ownership, monitoring, SARs, CTRs, OFAC sanctions, recordkeeping, training and independent testing called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
What one control looks like
This is confirming applicability and obligations, where the program begins. All 18 are built to this depth.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A requirement you cannot evidence is an examination finding. This tells you what an examiner examines and where institutions fall short, for every requirement.
- CDD, SARs and sanctions built in. Customer due diligence and beneficial ownership, Suspicious Activity Reports and OFAC screening are written into the controls, the substance the BSA requires.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. The BSA/AML program aligns with sanctions and fraud controls, so this work feeds your wider financial crime program.
Who buys this
Banks, money services businesses and other financial institutions, and their BSA/AML, compliance and risk leads. Whether it is a first alignment or an examination-readiness pass, you save weeks and walk in with the pillars, CDD and reporting structured.
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Does it cover SARs and CTRs? Yes. Filing Suspicious Activity Reports and Currency Transaction Reports with FinCEN is built as controls.
Does it cover beneficial ownership? Yes. Identifying and verifying beneficial owners under the CDD rule is built as a control.
Is this legal advice? No. It is an implementation toolkit grounded in the BSA and FinCEN regulations. For a specific matter consult counsel; this gets your controls and evidence in order fast.
