ACAMS Live- Understanding 314(b) with FinCEN’s Insights

Section 314(b) of the USA PATRIOT Act is potentially one of the most effective tools in the U.S. AML regime, yet it is woefully underutilized. It provides financial institutions with the ability to share information, under a safe harbor provision that offers protections from civil liability, to better identify and report potential money laundering or terrorist financing. In this episode of ACAMS Live, Craig Timm, Senior Director, AML at ACAMS was joined by Katherine Ford, Associate Director, Strategic Operations Division, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, US Treasury (FinCEN), to explore the vital topic of information sharing under 314(b). During this session, Katherine not only shed light on the effective use and benefits of 314(b) but also addressed some of the key challenges experienced by anti-financial crime (AFC) professionals. If you want to uncover some of the basics of 314(b) and learn how to maximize the information-sharing process, check out our 314(b) Toolkit, which is free for all ACAMS members: https://bit.ly/48Tsjqh
