  2. Broker Self AssessmentWhat Did the Brokers Want? • Taken out of the Pool of Audit • National Treatment • Capping of Penalties and Beneficial Mitigation • Prior Disclosure Benefits under 19 USC 1641 • Voluntary Program • Preferential Treatment for Post-Summary Submissions • Expanded National Permit Privileges

  3. Broker Self AssessmentWhat Did CBP Want? • Partnership Program Similar to ISA • A Better Understanding of how Brokers Conduct Business • How to Apply the “Controls” to Brokerage • Finding the Commonality Among Brokers • Assurances of Compliance

  4. What Did CBP Get? • 4 Completely Different Participants • Time Consuming Front End Preparation • RAD Review of BSA Profile • 3 Years of Data Review (BEAR and other internal Data) • Seemingly No Commonality

  5. The 5 Standards • Control Environment • Demonstrate management’s commitment to compliance • Risk Assessment • Identify and analyze relevant risk and develop internal goals to manage risk • Control Activities • Develop, implement and modify formal policies and procedures to ensure that management's goals and objectives are met • Information and Communication • Ensure employees receive appropriate training and guidance • Monitoring • Conduct periodic process reviews to assess the performance quality of the internal controls

  6. What Did CBP Do? • RAD Team did an On-Site Visit – 3 Days • Tried to Focus on the 5 Areas of Control • Reviewed 4 Entries Not Randomly Selected • Asked to See an Entry Keyed • Asked to See “New Client” Materials • Asked to See HR Manual • Asked to See Internal News Letters

  7. Did BSA Hit the Mark? • Can CBP identify brokers who have higher standards? • How can CBP translate the hours devoted to the program into facilitating transactions? • Does laying the ISA template over BSA work? • Will a rewrite of Part 111 help?
