An anti-money laundering compliance program is what a company does to adhere to AML policies and regulations. An AML compliance program is also designed to expose and react to money laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud-related risks. Businesses must follow a set of requirements to do so.
Firms must comply with the Bank Secrecy Act and its implementing regulations ("AML rules"). The purpose of the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules is to help detect and report suspicious activity including the predicate offenses to money laundering and terrorist financing, such as securities fraud and market manipulation. FINRA reviews a firm’s compliance with AML rules under FINRA Rule 3310, which sets forth minimum standards for a firm’s written AML compliance program.
