About BSA Reviews
A compliance practice built on deep industry knowledge and a commitment to doing the work that matters.
Purpose-built for MSBs and precious metal dealers
BSA Reviews was founded with a clear purpose: to provide Money Services Businesses and Precious Metal Dealers with the independent, high-quality BSA/AML compliance reviews they need — delivered with deep knowledge of these specific industries.
Too often, independent reviews are performed by generalist firms that treat every business the same. They miss the nuances of MSB and PMD operations, apply bank-centric frameworks where they don't fit, and produce reports that check a box without providing real value.
We took a different approach. By focusing exclusively on MSBs and precious metal dealers, we deliver reviews that are genuinely useful — reviews that identify real risks, offer practical guidance, and hold up under regulatory scrutiny.
Our Mission
"To provide independent BSA/AML compliance reviews that protect businesses, satisfy regulators, and raise the standard of compliance in the industries we serve."
How we think about compliance reviews
These are the principles that guide every review we conduct. They're not marketing points — they're commitments.
Substance Over Checklists
Compliance isn't about checking boxes. We evaluate whether your program actually works — whether your controls detect what they're supposed to detect, and whether your staff knows what to do when they find something.
Industry-Specific Knowledge
MSBs and PMDs operate differently from banks. We review your program in the context of how your business actually works — your transaction types, your customer base, your risk profile — not through a one-size-fits-all lens.
Clear Communication
Our reports are written in plain language with specific, actionable recommendations. We tell you exactly what we found, why it matters, and what to do about it. No jargon for the sake of jargon.
True Independence
We don't sell compliance software, process transactions, or provide outsourced BSA officer services. Our only product is the review itself, which means our findings are never influenced by a desire to sell you something else.
Practical Remediation
Identifying a problem is only half the job. Every finding in our reports includes specific remediation guidance that your team can actually implement — not vague suggestions to "enhance" or "strengthen" without explaining how.
Regulatory Awareness
We stay current on FinCEN guidance, enforcement actions, state regulatory trends, and examiner expectations. Your review reflects the regulatory environment as it is today, not as it was three years ago.
