The interim final rule requires mutual funds to develop and implement anti-money laundering programs by July 24, 2002, or within 90 days of establishment, whichever is later. These programs must include internal policies, procedures, and controls; a designated compliance officer; ongoing employee training; and an independent audit function. The rule applies specifically to open-end companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and mandates board approval of the program.
