Instructions

2. Provide a clear explanation of what constitutes suspicious activity and common red flags or indicators.

4. Outline a step-by-step process for filing a SAR, including internal review, documentation, and submission.
5. Highlight key legal requirements and deadlines relevant to the reporting jurisdiction.
6. Recommend how to document the decision-making process to support the SAR filing.

Guardrails
