  4. D
    A Currency Transaction Report (CTR) must be submitted within 30 calendar days of discovering structured cash deposits.

Cevap

The correct statements state that CTRs must be filed within 15 calendar days for currency deposits exceeding $10,000 in a single business day, and that firms are strictly prohibited from disclosing to a customer that a SAR has been filed regarding their account.
Under federal AML rules, CTRs must be filed with FinCEN within 15 calendar days whenever a client conducts currency transactions exceeding $10,000 in a single business day. Furthermore, federal law explicitly forbids broker-dealers and representatives from disclosing the existence or filing of a SAR to the account holder.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Currency Transaction Report (CTR) rules and deadlines.
CTRs are mandatory for cash/currency transactions exceeding $10,000 conducted in a single business day, with a filing deadline of 15 calendar days to FinCEN.
The Bank Secrecy Act establishes the $10,000 cash threshold and 15-day window for CTR reporting.
2
Evaluate Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) rules, monetary thresholds, and confidentiality provisions.
SAR filings are required for suspicious transactions of $5,000 or more within 30 calendar days of detection. Absolute secrecy is mandated; the customer must never be informed.
Federal AML law mandates strict SAR non-disclosure to prevent tipping off targets of active investigation.
3
Distinguish between CTR and SAR monetary thresholds and timelines to select the accurate statements.
Statements asserting a $10,000 threshold for SARs or a 30-day timeline for CTRs incorrectly swap CTR and SAR requirements.
Confusing the 10,000CTR/15−dayrulewiththe10,000 CTR / 15-day rule with the 5,000 SAR / 30-day rule is a common regulatory error.
