February 22, 2017 download PDF
Economic sanctions, anti-money laundering and cybersecurity remain at the forefront of U.S. regulatory priorities. In this memorandum, we survey major developments and trends in these areas in 2016 and early 2017 and provide an outlook for financial institutions in the year ahead. Although the Trump Administration brings considerable uncertainty, the focus by federal agencies-and by the N.Y. Department of Financial Services-in these areas is likely to remain rigorous. We provide some practical suggestions for continuing to strengthen compliance in this challenging environment.
