Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Differentiate cash transaction thresholds from suspicious transaction thresholds
Recognize that CTRs apply to physical currency exceeding 10,000regardlessofsuspicion,whereasSARsapplytosuspiciousactivitiesreachingorexceeding10,000 regardless of suspicion, whereas SARs apply to suspicious activities reaching or exceeding 5,000.
Prevents confusing cash reporting limits with SAR thresholds.
2
Analyze filing deadlines and receiving regulatory bodies
Identify that CTRs have a 15-calendar-day FinCEN deadline, SARs have a 30-calendar-day FinCEN deadline from detection, and OFAC SDN blocked property reports have a 10-business-day deadline to OFAC (U.S. Treasury).
Distinguishes between FinCEN AML reporting schedules and Treasury sanctions reporting requirements.
3
Evaluate recordkeeping retention triggers for customer identification
Determine that CIP baseline customer identifying info (name, DOB, address, TIN) must be retained for 5 years AFTER account closure.
Differentiates post-account closure retention rules from general 3-year or 6-year broker-dealer record retention rules.
