Cevap

The firm must file a Currency Transaction Report (CTR) with FinCEN within 15 calendar days of the transactions because the aggregate daily cash deposits exceed $10,000.
Under Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) regulations, member firms must aggregate all physical currency deposits made by a customer across all branch locations during a single business day. Since the customer's total cash deposit equals 11,500(11,500 ( 8,500 + 3,000),itexceedsthe3,000), it exceeds the 10,000 threshold. The firm is obligated to submit a Currency Transaction Report (CTR) to FinCEN within 15 calendar days.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate total physical currency deposits made by the customer on the same business day across all firm branches.
8,500+8,500 + 3,000 = $11,500 total currency deposited in one business day.
Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) rules require broker-dealers to aggregate all currency deposits made by or on behalf of a single customer during a single business day across all locations.
2
Identify the mandatory regulatory reporting trigger for cash deposits exceeding $10,000.
A Currency Transaction Report (CTR) is required.
Any cash transaction or aggregate daily cash transactions exceeding $10,000 automatically trigger a mandatory CTR filing under FinCEN regulations.
3
Determine the required legal timeframe for submitting the Currency Transaction Report.
The CTR must be filed within 15 calendar days.
FinCEN mandates that CTR filings be completed within 15 calendar days of the reportable cash transaction.
