In this program we're going to discuss the events that led to a major overhaul of Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) regulations in 2001. In the other courses in this series, we've looked at how AML laws were developed to stop dirty money from entering the banking system. Some of the most significant changes to a bank's AML program have been a result of the passage of the USA PATRIOT Act, passed in direct response to the 9/11 attacks.
