BSAC EXAM PREP QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS | LATEST UPDATE
True or False:


The credit union's BSA Officer is ultimately responsible for the credit union's BSA

compliance.


✓ -:- False.

Although the BSA Officer is responsible for coordinating and monitoring day-to-day

BSA/AML compliance and managing all aspects of the BSA compliance program, the credit

union's board of directors is ultimately responsible for the credit union's compliance. This is

why it is critical that the board of directors designate a qualified BSA officer and receive

appropriate BSA/AML training annually.




The BSA Officer must be knowledgeable of:




A. The BSA, and related regulations;


B. The credit union's products and


services;


C. The credit union's members;

D. The credit union's neighborhoods;


E. a & b


F. All of the above.


✓ -:- The answer is F.

The BSA Officer is expected to be fully knowledgeable of the Bank Secrecy Act and all

related regulations, as well as understand the money laundering and terrorist financing risks

associated with the credit union's products, services, members, and geographic locations of

each credit union office and branch. The BSA Officer should be in a position to regularly

apprise the senior management staff and the board of directors of ongoing compliance with

the BSA/AML requirements.




True or False:


If you are a small credit union (less than $100 million) it is acceptable to have the BSA

Officer identify when BSA- related reports must be filed, fill out the reports, and determine

when members are eligible to be exempt from BSA reporting.


✓ -:- False.

As part of the credit union's internal controls, you must have policies and procedures in

place to limit and control risks associated with BSA/AML. Such internal controls include the

segregation of duties whenever possible, so that it isn't the same person determining who is

exempt from filing, when a report should be filed, and actually completing the reports. It is

important to have a "checks and balances" system in place.




Regulators recommend that independent testing of your BSA program should be done:




A. Annually


B. Every 12 to 18 months


C. Whenever necessary


D. Before each exam


✓ -:- The answer is B.

The frequency of the required independent testing is not specifically defined in the

regulation, however, the regulators recommend that it be done every 12 to 18 months,

depending on the credit union's risk profile.




Which of the following products and services may have a higher risk for illegal activities?




A. Wire transfers

B. Monetary instruments


C. Traveler's Checks


D. All of the above


✓ -:- The answer is D.

Although attempts to launder money or conduct other illegal activities through a credit

union can emanate from many different sources, certain products, services, members, and

geographic locations may be more vulnerable or have historically been known to be abused

by money launderers and criminals. For example, some products and services may allow a

higher degree of anonymity ( such as electronic funds payments), or involve the handling of

high volumes of currency (such as monetary instruments like cashier's checks, money

orders, and traveler's checks).




The identification and verification rules do NOT apply to which of the following?




A. Joint owners


B. Beneficiaries


C. Co-borrowers


D. Non-resident aliens
