Compliance Officer / BSA Compliance Officer

Compliance

The individual designated by a casino to be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day management of the AML compliance program. The compliance officer must have appropriate authority, independence, and resources to effectively administer the program, including implementing internal controls, ensuring staff training, coordinating suspicious activity reporting, responding to regulatory inquiries, and keeping senior management informed of compliance matters. In Nevada, recent regulatory changes require casino compliance officers to be licensed by the NGCB and meet suitability requirements.
