Suspicious Activity Information - Narrative *

3

Explanation/description of suspicious activity(ies). This section of the report is critical. The care with which it is completed may determine whether
or not the described activity and its possible criminal nature are clearly understood by investigators. Provide a clear, complete and chronological
description (not exceeding this page and the next page) of the activity, including what is unusual, irregular or suspicious about the transaction(s), using
the checklist below as a guide, as you prepare your account.
a. Describe conduct that raised suspicion.

provided by the subject(s) or other persons. Indicate to whom and
when it was given.

relates to another transaction.
i. Indicate whether there is any related litigation. If so, specify the
name of the litigation and the court where the action is pending.
j. Recommend any further investigation that might assist law
enforcement authorities.
k. Indicate whether any information has been excluded from this report;

FinCEN Form 101a

Suspicious Activity Report (SAR-SF) Instructions

Safe Harbor Federal law (31 U.S.C. 5318(g)(3))
provides complete protection from civil liability
for all reports of suspicious transactions made to
appropriate authorities, including supporting documentation, regardless of whether such reports are
filed pursuant to this report’s instructions or are
filed on a voluntary basis. Specifically, the law provides that a financial institution, and its directors,
officers, employees, and agents, that make a disclosure of any possible violation of law or regulation, including in connection with the preparation
of suspicious activity reports, “shall not be liable to
any person under any law or regulation of the
United States, any constitution, law, or regulation
of any State or political subdivision of any State, or
under any contract or other legally enforceable
agreement (including any arbitration agreement),
for such disclosure or for any failure to provide
notice of such disclosure to the person who is the
subject of such disclosure or any other person identified in the disclosure.”
Notification Prohibited Federal law (31 U.S.C.
5318(g)(2)) provides that a financial institution, and
its directors, officers, employees, and agents who,
voluntarily or by means of a suspicious activity report, report suspicious transactions to the government, may not notify any person involved in the
transaction that the transaction has been reported.
In situations involving violations that require
immediate attention, such as terrorist financing or ongoing money laundering schemes, the
financial institution shall immediately notify by
telephone an appropriate law enforcement authority in addition to filing a timely suspicious
activity report.

When to file a report
1. Every broker or dealer in securities (BD), futures
commission merchant (FCM), and introducing
broker in commodities (IB-C) within the United
States shall file with FinCEN, to the extent and in
the manner required by 31 CFR 103.19 and
103.17, a report of any suspicious transaction
relevant to a possible violation of law or regulation.
A BD, FCM or IB-C may also file with FinCEN a
report of any suspicious transaction that it believes
is relevant to the possible violation of any law or
regulation but whose reporting is not required by
31 CFR 103.19 or 103.17. A voluntary filing does
not relieve a BD, FCM or IB-C from the
responsibility of complying with any other reporting
requirements imposed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), a selfregulatory organization (“SRO”) (as defined in
section 3(a)(26) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, 15 U.S.C. 78c (a)(26)), or any registered
futures association (RFA) or registered entity (RE)
as these terms are defined in the Commodity
Exchange Act (CEA) 7 U.S.C. 21 and 7 U.S.C. 1a(29).
2. A transaction requires reporting if it is conducted
or attempted by, at, or through a BD, FCM or IB-C,
it involves or aggregates funds or other assets of at
least $5,000, and the BD, FCM, or IB-C knows,
suspects, or has reason to suspect that the
transaction (or a pattern of transactions of which
the transaction is a part):

i. Involves funds derived from illegal activity or
is intended or conducted in order to hide or disguise
funds or assets derived from illegal activity
(including, without limitation, the ownership,
nature, source, location, or control of such funds
or assets) as part of a plan to violate or evade any
federal law or regulation or to avoid any transaction
reporting requirement under federal law or
regulation;
ii. Is designed, whether through structuring or
other means, to evade any requirements of 31
CFR 103 or of any other regulations promulgated
under the Bank Secrecy Act, Pub. L. 91-508, as
amended, codified at 12 U.S.C. 1829b, 12 U.S.C.
1951-1959, and 31 U.S.C. 5311 - 5314, 5316 5332;
iii. Has no business or apparent lawful purpose
or is not the sort in which the particular customer
would normally be expected to engage, and the
BD, FCM or IB-C knows of no reasonable
explanation for the transaction after examining the
available facts, including the background and
possible purpose of the transaction; or
iv. Involves use of the BD, FCM or IB-C to
facilitate criminal activity.
3. The obligation to identify and properly and
timely report a suspicious transaction rests with
each BD, FCM, and IB-C involved in the transaction,
provided that no more than one report is required
to be filed by any of the BDs, FCMs, or IB-Cs
involved in a particular transaction (so long as the
report filed contains all relevant facts).
4. A SAR-SF shall be filed no later than 30 calendar
days after the date of the initial detection by the
reporting BD, FCM, or IB-C of facts that may
constitute a basis for filing a SAR-SF. If no suspect is
identified on the date of such initial detection, a
BD, FCM, or IB-C may delay filing a SAR-SF for an
additional 30 calendar days to identify a suspect,
but in no case shall reporting be delayed more
than 60 calendar days after the date of such initial
detection. In situations involving violations that
require immediate attention, such as terrorist
financing or ongoing money laundering schemes,
the BD, FCM, or IB-C shall immediately notify by
telephone an appropriate law enforcement
authority in addition to filing timely a SAR-SF. BDs,
FCMs, or IB-Cs wishing voluntarily to report
suspicious transactions that may relate to terrorist
activity may call FinCEN’s Financial Institutions
Hotline at 1-866-556-3974 in addition to filing
timely a SAR-SF. The BD, FCM, or IB-C may also,
but is not required to, contact the SEC or the CFTC
to report in such situations.
5. Exceptions. A BD, FCM, or IB-C is not
required to file a SAR-SF to report:
i. A robbery or burglary committed or attempted
that is reported to appropriate law enforcement
authorities, or for lost, missing, counterfeit, or
stolen securities with respect to which the BD
files a report pursuant to the reporting
requirements of 17 CFR 240.17f-1;

Catalog No. 35351G

1

ii. A violation otherwise required to be
reported on a SAR-SF: (a) of any of the federal
securities laws or rules of an SRO by the BD or
any of its officers, directors, employees or other
registered representatives, other than a violation
of 17 CFR 240.17a-8 or 17 CFR 405.4, so long as
such violation is appropriately reported to the SEC
or an SRO; or (b) under the CEA (7 U.S.C. 1 et
seq.), the regulations of the CFTC (17 CFR Chpt.1),
or the rules of any RFA or RE as those terms are
defined in the CEA, 7 U.S.C. 21 and 7 U.S.C. 1a(29),
by the FCM or IB-C or any of its officers, directors,
employees or associated persons, other than a
violation of 17 CFR 42.2 as long as such violation
is appropriately reported to the CFTC or a RFA or
RE.
6.The Bank Secrecy Act requires financial institutions to file currency transaction reports (CTRs) in
accordance with the Department of the Treasury’s
implementing regulations (31 CFR Part 103). These
regulations require a financial institution to file a
CTR whenever a currency transaction exceeds
$10,000. If a currency transaction exceeds $10,000
and is suspicious, the institution must file both a
CTR (reporting the currency transaction) and a suspicious activity report (reporting the suspicious aspects of the transaction). If a currency transaction is
$10,000 or less and is suspicious, the institution
should only file a suspicious activity report. Appropriate records must be maintained in each case.
See: 31 CFR Part 103; 17 CFR 240.17a-8; 17 CFR
405.4; 17 CFR 42.2
