Notable Quotes 2
As you may know, per the AML Procedures manual, certain clients are excluded from ACUs.
Unfortunately, the code in dbforce is exempting high risk clients with only deposit accounts under $250K from the ACU when it should not be—the code will be fixed, but in the meanwhile, while the ACUs listed below don't appear as overdue, they must be completed.
