There is increasing discussion that, rather than punish stockholders, individual officers should be personally held accountable for their decisions causing failures to act in compliance. Already the Sarbanes-Oxley law specifically requires that companies, including banks, have accurate financial reports as well as sound controls as required to assure the material accuracy of those reports. CEOs and CFOs have to personally sign statements to that effect and can be charged personally under some circumstances.

In my career there have been many times when I have been brought in as a consultant or a Senior Executive to take over non-compliant operations or to establish projects to fix non-compliant operations. Sometimes this happened after a specific executive was fired. At other times, we were able address the problems in time to avoid ending anyone’s career.

It is said that a smart person learns from their mistakes; but a wise one learns from others’ mistakes. This is a chance to learn from many other people’s hard experience.

Course Objectives:

The level of fines levied against banks resulting from failure to comply with various regulations has soared, reaching into the billions of dollars in individual instances. Every bank is responsible for compliance with a wide variety of regulations. Compliance failures are risks to both their reputation and their stockholders money.

Course Outline:

• Common AML compliance failures
• Extraordinary AML compliance failures (intentional at the executive level)
• Widespread SOX failures (Sarbanes-Oxley Act) primarily control breakdowns leading to reconciliation breakdowns and incorrect reporting
• A broad failure of licensing controls where the company providing insurance products in the name of several major banks did not know   which products were licensed is which states
• For each case we will look at:
                          - What was the cause of the compliance failure
                          - How was a problem identified (red-flags, check list items, audit steps) and
                            communicated internally (escalation process)
                          - What was done with regard to communication with regulatory authorities
                          - What did it take to investigate and address the failures
                          - What internal controls and risk mitigation steps were taken to prevent recurrence
