On October 9, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued answers to four Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to clarify certain requirements related to suspicious activity reports (SARs). By issuing these FAQs, FinCEN is ensuring financial institutions are not needlessly expending resources on efforts that do not provide law enforcement and national security agencies with the critical information they need to detect, combat, and deter criminal activity

Learn how the FAQs clarify regulatory requirements relating to structuring SARs, continuing activity reviews, and a financial institution’s decision not to file a SAR will impact your SAR filing.

Highlights:

• Learn how four groundbreaking FAQs may reduce your SAR filings
• What is structuring and when to file?
• What is not structuring and how to save time by not filing defensive SARs
• Reduce or eliminate documentation on non-filing of SARs
• How to count days on continuing SARS—including a full 90-day review
• Elimination of the investigation after first filing of SAR

Who should attend?
