This program covers the three core Bank Secrecy Act reporting regimes - Form 8300, Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs), and Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) - with focus on legal authority, filing triggers, responsible parties, deadlines, and penalty exposure. Participants learn to distinguish when each obligation applies and how violations are investigated and prosecuted under key statutes, including structuring and money laundering provisions. Through practical hypotheticals, the course applies these rules to real-world scenarios and reviews common defense strategies, including willfulness standards, good-faith reliance, and constitutional considerations.
