SAR filing is on the increase. Can your team accurately identify when a SAR should be filed?

File accurate SARs for emerging areas of fraud

WEBINAR DETAILS

In the first eight months of 2022, over one million SARs were filed – a 15% increase from the same period in 2021! Most filings go far beyond reporting a “simple” structuring transaction. With the increase in fraud coming from all angles and channels, and the potential for a change to the SAR form and filing process being dangled by the AML Act of 2020, it’s imperative your SAR decision and filing processes are up to the challenges.

Do you know how to properly complete a SAR for emerging hot spots? How can you maximize SAR’s effectiveness as a vehicle for delivering information to law enforcement? Learn how to write an effective SAR narrative, procedures, and best practices for determining when to file, how to complete a SAR, and what to do after filing. This jam-packed session will ensure your institution is ready to file the next SAR!

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This informative session is directed to BSA/AML officers, compliance officers, and senior managers.
