Banks and other financial institutions are required to identify and verify the identity of beneficial owners of legal entity customers under the Financial Crime Enforcement Networks' (FinCEN) new customer due diligence (CDD) rule.

Many bank employees do not fully understand exactly when the CDD rule applies and what actions are required in order to satisfy their regulatory obligations.

This webinar helps the persons responsible for customer due diligence to understand which customers are covered by the CDD rule and which are excluded from the new requirements, as well as the specific information and documentation requirements for banks. It also guides banks in developing and implementing ongoing anti-money laundering policies to comply with FinCEN rules, including CDD requirements.

This information is also critical for legal entity customers to understand their disclosure obligations when beginning new banking relationships, including in corporate transactions.What You'll Learn:Identifying Beneficial Owners
