Workflow

Overview

Preparing comprehensive Bank Secrecy Act risk assessments requires extensive research across FinCEN, FFIEC, OCC, and FDIC resources, manual analysis of institutional data, and careful documentation of compliance measures. Compliance officers and financial services attorneys typically spend 12+ hours gathering regulatory guidance, evaluating risk factors, and drafting assessments that meet evolving BSA/AML standards.

CaseMark automates BSA risk assessment creation by intelligently searching your institutional documents, retrieving current regulatory guidance from official sources, and generating comprehensive, citation-backed assessments in minutes. The platform verifies compliance with FinCEN and FFIEC requirements while adapting to your institution's specific risk profile, delivering audit-ready documentation with minimal manual effort.
