KEY BENEFITS OF A GAP ANALYSIS
- High Level Analysis Into the 4 pillars of Your Compliance Program
- Identifying Inefficiencies and Areas of Improvement
- Streamline Compliance Processes

Let’s explore the key benefits a little closer…
THE 4 PILLARS
The four pillars of a BSA/AML/OFAC Compliance Program are the foundation for which a gap analysis is based off of.
- Designation of a Compliance Officer
- Development of internal policies, procedures and controls
- Ongoing, relevant training of employees
- Independent testing and review
Somewhere between your BSA/AML/OFAC risk strategy and execution, lies the gaps. Analyzing the known risk factors will determine if the risk is adequately mitigated or controlled.
IDENTIFYING INEFFICIENCIES
Considering the myriad of rules and regulations that safeguard BSA practices, it can be cumbersome to make sure that your compliance systems are running as efficiently as possible.
STREAMLINE COMPLIANCE PROCESSES
When the gaps in your compliance systems are identified, you can streamline your policies and procedures and produce better results.
SIMPLIFY COMMUNICATION
Understanding your gaps allows better communication to your compliance team. Unifying your messaging establishes what is expected of your employees and empowers them to resolve any issues in a timely manner.
