Having walked clients through it, I have a fairly good list of priorities now. Presuming the facility is current as of 2019 (FIN-2010-G003 Guidance plus 2012, 2017 and 2019 additions)...

· 2020 Risk Based WSIC and P&P Updates (per AMLA)
· 2020 Whistle Blowers Requirements
· 2021 Keep Open Requests
· 2021 Beneficial Ownership of Certain customers (as of 12/08/21 NPRM)
· 2021 Virtual Currencies in AML (even if you don't accept VC)
· 2019-2021 Best Practices Updates - Adequacy
· 2020 New ADP Compliance with AML
· 2021 New training Requirements
· 2020 Covid 19 Update
· 2020-2021 Department of Treasury Procedural Update for Examinations
