Regulation S-P Issues to Consider from an SEC Examiner’s Perspective
1. Regulation S-P requires:
   a. written procedures that are reasonably designed to:
    - Insure security and confidentiality of customer records and info
    - Protect against anticipated threats or hazards to security or integrity of customer info
    - Protect against unauthorized access to or use of customer records or info that could
       result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer
   b. Privacy notices to customers describing how firm may use customer information
   c. That customers have opportunity to “opt-out” of third-party sharing of their information

2. If the firm is a broker-dealer, what type of business model does the firm follow?
   a. independent representative model? – procedures should take this into account
   b. Privacy notices to customers should include a disclosure of what info departing registered reps
       may take and give customers opportunity to opt-out

3. Self-Assessment – has the firm performed any tests on its systems to assess threats
    to the security of information maintained on those systems?

4. If testing performed, what steps have been taken to correct any identified systems
    vulnerabilities? Who within the organization is responsible for compliance?

5. What training has been provided to employees?

6. Document safeguarding steps » testing process or results, and any corrective
    measures taken; as well as privacy notices sent and opt-out requests received

AML Issues to Consider from an SEC Examiner’s Perspective
1. Common Theme: Document, Document, Document

2. SARS
   a. Systems to monitor
   b. Logs detailing alerts, detailing actions

3. Self-Assessment – Not necessarily required, but essential to designing an effective
    program to monitor for suspicious activity.

4. Independent Test (and Self-Assessment)
   a. Sample size/characteristics?
   b. How well is it done?
   c. How are recommendations for improvements identified and followed-up on?

5. Designated AML Compliance Officer
   a. How independent?
   b. Can he/she make recommendations to senior management?
   c. Recommendation tracking.

SEGMENT 3:


Ellen Zimiles, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer,
Daylight Forensic & Advisory LLC

- Timing of self assessment? Must be done with adequate time to correct issues
  before the examination begins.

- Who should perform them? Ideally compliance should be doing regular compliance
  testing with the businesses and audit should leverage off that work.

- What should be included? All areas deemed to be high risk because of inherent risk
  embedded in products, services, customers, counter-parties or geographic markets;
  any new businesses acquired since the last assessment; newly offered products,
  services and businesses; special attention should be paid to newly system
  implemented systems. Need to consider extending your assessment to operating
  subsidiaries of the bank.

- How should they be documented? Should have a testing/assessment plan much like internal
  audit has an annual audit plan. This should be provided to the examiners along with
  the previous year’s assessment and action plan.

- This is an opportunity for the bank to showcase its program and to create a great first
  impression. Don’t miss the boat on this.
SEGMENT 4:
