Bank Secrecy Act Compliance

October 2026

Aldrich & Bonnefin is pleased to invite you to attend our full-day Bank Secrecy Act Compliance Seminar. Our discussion will cover the obligation of financial institutions to collect beneficial ownership information (BOI) at account opening with the expectation of an impending revised rule from FinCEN.

Our session on collecting BOI will include FinCEN’s recent grant of exceptive relief to covered financial institutions from the requirement to identify and verify the identities of beneficial owners at each new account opening.
 
During this Seminar, we will also cover in detail customer due diligence (CDD) expectations with a focus on providing services to high-risk customers, including the need to apply a risk-based approach to assess customer relationships.
 
Finally, we will discuss recent BSA developments that may have an impact on the BSA compliance activities of financial institutions.
 
 

 
 
 
 

Mortgage Lending Compliance
November 2026

The mortgage lending regulatory landscape continues to evolve, creating new challenges—and new compliance considerations—for lenders operating in California. Staying current with federal and state requirements is essential to minimizing regulatory risk, avoiding costly compliance errors, and maintaining sound lending practices.
 
Join us for BCG’s Mortgage Lending Compliance Seminar, an annual review of the key legal and regulatory issues affecting mortgage lenders.  This year’s program will focus on recent developments in federal and California mortgage lending laws, along with practical guidance on several of the core compliance requirements that apply to mortgage lending and servicing.
 
Topics will include recent developments in federal and California mortgage laws, HMDA fundamentals and common compliance issues, a review of the TRID fundamentals, TILA/RESPA mortgage servicing requirements, and a survey of significant California mortgage laws and requirements.  We will highlight important regulatory developments, areas of ongoing examination and enforcement interest, and practical issues that lenders encounter in their day-to-day operations.
 
Whether you are new to mortgage compliance or an experienced compliance professional looking for an annual refresher, this seminar will provide a practical overview of the rules and developments that matter most to today's mortgage lenders.
