CAMS-FCI Exam Topic 2 Question 15 Discussion:
Question #: 15
Topic #: 2
A financial institution (Fl) has considered the available relevant factors in a transaction and has determined it will file a SAR^STR. Which is needed to support the contents of the report to the financial intelligence unit?
A.
Definitive proof that suspicious activity occurred
B.
Enough circumstantial evidence about the suspicious activity for a criminal proceeding
C.
No factual description of the suspicious activity
D.
Low evidentiary threshold about the suspicious activity
A SAR/STR does not require definitive proof or enough circumstantial evidence of suspicious activity, as these are high evidentiary thresholds that may be difficult or impossible to obtain by the FI. A SAR/STR should include a factual description of the suspicious activity, as this is essential for the FIU to analyze and disseminate the information. A low evidentiary threshold means that the FI has reasonable grounds to suspect that the activity is related to money laundering, terrorism financing, or other financial crimes, based on the available relevant factors. This is the main criterion for filing a SAR/STR.
