Cevap

The statements confirming that Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) are required for cash transactions exceeding $10,000 in a single business day and that broker-dealers must designate an AML compliance supervisor are correct.
Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) are triggered by physical currency transactions exceeding $10,000 in a single business day. Furthermore, FINRA Rule 3310 requires member firms to designate an individual (AML Compliance Officer) to monitor and administer the firm's anti-money laundering program.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Currency Transaction Report (CTR) requirements
Confirm CTR cash threshold
The Bank Secrecy Act requires a CTR for physical cash transactions exceeding $10,000 in a single day.
2
Evaluate FINRA AML organizational requirements
Confirm designated AML officer mandate
FINRA Rule 3310 mandates designating an individual responsible for implementing and monitoring the firm's AML program.
3
Evaluate Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) threshold and regulatory destination
Identify misconceptions in filing triggers and agencies
SARs apply to suspicious funds/transactions of $5,000 or more and are filed with FinCEN within 30 days, not the IRS within 15 days.
