A solid BSA/AML program can account for any suspicious activities, which need to be expunged from the roots before it hinders the entire stability of the SARs. The SAR data consists of high-security data that is very sensitive to threats and suspicious activity.

However, if you take all the time and effort to create a solid monitoring program so you can identify suspicious activity and then report that activity ineffectively, you are defeating all the work you put into reporting it. In this live webinar, participants will learn strategies to write an effective SAR, and also how law enforcement looks at SARs and uses that information.


In this live webinar, attendees will learn:

  • What organizations utilize SAR data?
  • The components of a strong SAR narrative
  • The keywords that law enforcement looks for when reading a SAR narrative
  • The common SAR errors are seen by law enforcement

  • Who uses SARs?
  • Proper SAR narrative format
  • Keywords or phrases for each branch of law enforcement
  • Common SAR errors

Attendees will be able to write more effective SARs that will help law enforcement stop criminal activity.


  • BSA Officers
  • Personnel involved in filing SARs
