Staffing Calculator Instructions
AML Staffing Calculator
Step 1
Enter the average volume of each activity conducted each month in your BSA/AML department, such as the number of alerts or cases for review.
Step 2
Enter the average number of minutes per single activity. For example, how long it takes to clear one alert or review one case.
Some tasks related to suspicious activity monitoring are completed only once per year. For these activities, divide total time needed by 12 to estimate monthly minutes per activity.
Step 3
View the total hours per month spent on activities and number of full time employees (FTEs) required to complete the tasks of your AML compliance program. You may be surprised by the needs for your unique AML team.
