Remember when fill-in-the-blanks used to be fun and easy? And getting one wrong didn't mean fines, penalties, and a potential violation? BSA changed all that and this webinar is designed to help you iron out some of the wrinkles in proper form completion. From when and where to file to who you are filing on, we will explore the currency transaction report, designation of exempt person form, and the suspicious activity report.

Through this webinar, you will learn the answers to these and other questions:

• Who am I filing on when an employee completes a transaction for their employer?
• How do I complete the forms for a transaction that took place through a shared branch?
• My member fell for a scam, are they the Suspect on the SAR?
• Why does the CTR have boxes for negotiable instruments and wires when it is called a Currency transaction report?
• When do I check the boxes for multiple persons and multiple transactions?
• What box must you check if you only complete Part I Section A on the CTR?
• Are there some examples of when to check "other' on the SAR?
• What do I put if I don't know the answer?

You will also review these questions:

• When and how do I file an exempt person form?
• Who qualifies as exempt?
• What is suspicious and what is just different from normal?
• When should a suspicious activity report be filed?
• When and how should I properly complete a currency transaction report?
• What types of transactions should be reported on the CTR?
