The Fifth Pillar of BSA

Question: 
A fifth pillar? Really? And your saying that because of it we need to amend our BSA/AML Compliance Policy?
Answer: 

Since 1987, the four pillars of your bank’s formal BSA/AML compliance program have been its:
• internal controls,
• independent testing,
• training, and
• individual responsible for compliance.
A recent amendment to the BSA regulation adds a fifth pillar, “due diligence,” effective in May of 2018. Incorporating it into your compliance efforts will require board action to amend your BSA/AML compliance policy.
