Department Overview

FinCEN advises in the BSA/AML Manual that "suspicious activity reporting forms the cornerstone of the BSA reporting system. It is critical to the United States' ability to utilize financial information to combat terrorism, terrorist financing, money laundering, and other financial crimes. Banks should recognize that the quality of SAR content is critical to the adequacy and effectiveness of the suspicious activity reporting system." TD Bank, in consideration of this, has established a pre-filing SAR review quality control function to ensure that work completed by TD Bank FCRM AML & CIT investigations meets the highest quality standard. In furtherance of SAR and CTR quality, the SAR QC function will provide SAR filing guidance, perform a pre-filing quality review for all SARs, and provide SAR insights on SAR trends to support the TD Global Anti-Money Laundering program.
