Date: August 24, 2007

TO: Chief Executive Officers, BSA Officers, and Compliance Officers of All National Banks, Federal Branches and Agencies, Technology Service Providers, Department and Division Heads, and All Examining Personnel.

On August 24, 2007, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) released the revised Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) Examination Manual. The revised manual reflects the ongoing commitment of the federal and state banking agencies and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to provide current and consistent guidance on risk-based policies, procedures, and processes for banking organizations to comply with the BSA and safeguard operations from money laundering and terrorist financing.

Attached is an interagency notification about the release of the manual. This notification includes information about the significant revisions to the manual. The manual’s table of contents indicates which sections have been revised.

The 2007 version of the manual is located on the FFIEC BSA/AML InfoBase at: [http://www.ffiec.gov/bsa_aml_infobase/default.htm].
