Thinking outside the (check)box: The role of the BSA Officer/MLRO

Description

"Fighting financial crime" has long been a rallying cry within the AML profession, but could this way of thinking actually be doing us all a disservice? While an admirable goal for any compliance risk management program, it may actually be too limiting and overlook how the BSA Officer/MLRO role can also drive business strategy and growth.

In this episode of KYC Decoded, host Alex Pillow welcomes Vic Maculaitis, 3-time board-appointed BSA officer and founder of i3strategies, a consultancy that works to modernize the financial crime risk and compliance ecosystem. This provocative and candid conversation explores:

  • The primary responsibility of a BSA officer
  • Outcomes over checkboxes
  • Compensation for compliance officers
  • How generative AI plays into the future of the industry
