MTRA HOLDS OPERATIONS SCHOOL IN FLORIDA
9 March 2010 -
MTRA conducted its 2010 Operations School on March 1 - 5 at the Florida Hotel & Conference Center in Orlando, Florida. Thirty-two examiners from thirteen states attended this school with the host state of Florida sending nine students. This school focused on the operations of a Mexican wire transfer company in which consultant instructor Mark McFarlin took students through the transactional flow of funds from sender to recipient. Instructors Alex Ketter-Washington, John Bishop-Ohio, Rick Posey-California, and Ryan Seals-Wyoming presented sessions on agent, financial, and operational examination processes along with state and federal compliance reviews of permissible investments and Bank Secrecy Act, USA Patriot Act and Office of Foreign Asset Control laws and regulation.
MTRA is currently planning an Intermediate School to be held the first quarter of 2011 on the west coast.
LIST OF REGISTERED MONEY SERVICES BUSINESS WITH FINCEN
The Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) makes available a new list of registered money services businesses. The list provides information per state/territory and reflects information provided by filers. Each is arranged alphabetically - first, by the selected state, then, by each city within the selected state, and finally, by MSB Registrant name within each city. FinCEN said the list should only be used as a general reference for the public and may contain inaccuracies. The list can be downloaded at: www.msb.gov/guidance/msbstateselector.php. |
