Earlier this year, former Risk Officer at U.S Bank Michael LaFontaine was fined $450,000 for a "failure to prevent violations of the Bank Secrecy Act," according to The Wall Street Journal.

Before and during LaFontaine's tenure, U.S. Bank used a transaction-monitoring software that placed a cap on the number of alerts generated, preventing the bank [...]

In the past, a Chief Risk Officer’s (CRO) position was limited to ensuring that organizations met regulatory and compliance obligations, acting as a sort of failsafe to protect the business in the event of adverse scenarios. However, over time, CROs have acquired more influence across their organizations. Corporate Compliance Insights recently featured an article from Vital4’s Chief Risk Officer, Guy Underwood, where he discusses the changes in a CRO’s duties and responsibilities that he has seen [...]

Georgia On My Mind – In The Midst Of A Crisis

By Amy Barbieri|2021-02-04T13:49:02-05:00April 27th, 2020|Blog, Trends|

As I write this, our beautiful and amazing state, Georgia, is amid a high profile and extremely controversial soft “re-opening”. Our Governor, Brian Kemp is under fire by the President and many Americans perceive his decision to “open up” as reckless, selfish, garnered by political agenda, and a sheer lack of respect for the rest of the country. Now, for the sake of my sanity, I am going to do my best by not posting my [...]

The world is experiencing a crisis unparalleled in modern times, with the possible exception of the two World Wars. COVID19 is challenging countries, companies and us as individuals to change the way we fundamentally operate to ensure we stay physically, and financially healthy. Governments are delivering enormous aid packages designed to stimulate the economy and protect jobs and incomes of workers where possible. Nowhere is this more evident than in the US where a multi-trillion-dollar package [...]

The top 10 things you need to know about International Background Screening

By Amy Barbieri|2021-02-04T16:51:45-05:00February 20th, 2017|Background Screening, Blog, International|

1. It’s very different from domestic screening. In the US, the background screening is governed by the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act), and any CRA (consumer reporting agency) performing background screening must be FCRA compliant.

This means with over 240 countries and territories across the globe; every [...]
