BSA AUDITING


The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) requires financial institutions to keep records and file reports on certain financial transactions, now delegated to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Thousands of financial institutions are currently subject to BSA reporting and record keeping requirements, including banks, credit unions and thrifts. FlexTeller overcomes the regulatory hurdles associated with currency reporting by automating many of the required functions.

Real time tracking of cash transactions. Unlike batch reporting systems that require manual review, FlexTeller automates cash tracking in real time to generate large currency reports while the customer is present. FlexTeller cash tracking aggregates across multiple branches for each business day to ensure the financial institution is compliant with regulatory requirements. Financial institutions have complete control over their use of FlexTeller cash tracking, allowing customer service or network traffic needs to be anticipated.

Purchases of monetary instruments follow similar cash tracking functions, reporting at BSA required thresholds. In addition, FlexTeller electronic transactions eliminate the need to manually update Monetary Instrument Logs, providing greater accuracy and opportunities to cross check against OFAC watch lists.

Automated management of large currency reporting. Teller workflow is simplified through the use of automated data population of FinCEN 104 forms. In addition to efficient form management, data collection meets regulations for customer information, limiting the potential for submitting incorrect reports. Administrative functions allow exempt depositors and payroll accounts to be identified to ensure tellers provide consistent customer service.

Centralized administration of large currency reporting enables the BSA officer to review and edit all electronic documents received from all branch locations. Depending on processing needs, large currency reports are available for hardcopy print or export for electronic filing to FinCEN. Electronic Monetary Instrument Logs and a suite of management reports provide full account and customer analysis to meet the expectations of the most demanding bank examination.
