Session Details
Explore strategic approaches to strengthening your AML program through effective and defensible Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) filing. Attendees will gain insights into how regulators and law enforcement view SAR quality, timeliness, and narrative clarity, and why these elements matter beyond basic compliance.
The session will address common challenges institutions face in identifying, escalating, and documenting suspicious activity amid evolving risks and resource constraints. Speakers will share practical guidance on aligning SAR practices with your institution’s risk profile and enterprise-wide AML framework. Attendees will also learn how to enhance collaboration across compliance, investigations, and business teams to improve decision-making and consistency. Real-world examples will illustrate best practices, common pitfalls, and emerging trends shaping SAR expectations today.
This session is designed for AML and compliance professionals seeking to elevate SAR filing from a procedural task to a strategic risk management tool.
