  4. D
    If a broker-dealer files a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) regarding an account holder, the firm is required to notify the customer in writing within 30 days of filing.

Cevap

The correct statements are that Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) must be filed for cash transactions exceeding $10,000 in a single business day, and that Customer Identification Program (CIP) records must be retained for five years after account closure.
The statements identifying that CTRs are required for cash transactions exceeding $10,000 in a single business day and that CIP identifying records must be kept for five years after an account is closed accurately reflect federal AML and broker-dealer compliance mandates.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Currency Transaction Report (CTR) criteria.
Confirm that CTR filings apply to cash transactions over $10,000 made in a single business day.
The Bank Secrecy Act establishes a statutory threshold of cash transactions exceeding $10,000 for mandatory CTR reporting within 15 calendar days.
2
Evaluate Customer Identification Program (CIP) recordkeeping guidelines.
Confirm that customer identification data must be retained for 5 years after the account is closed.
FINRA and USA PATRIOT Act rules mandate that identity verification records created under CIP be preserved for 5 years post-account termination.
3
Differentiate Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) from CTRs.
Reject the statement claiming SARs are required solely for routine cash deposits over $10,000, and reject mandatory client notification of SAR filings.
SARs apply to suspicious transactions involving $5,000 or more and carry strict confidentiality rules preventing notification to the customer.
