SAR Lifecycle

From alert to FinCEN filing in four stages

Alert Flagged

Transaction monitoring or KYC module generates alert. 30-day clock starts. Case auto-created, assigned to BSA officer queue.

Case Opened

Analyst builds case: pulls transaction history, account profile, previous alerts. Documents preliminary assessment and suspicious activity type.

Narrative Drafted

Riftbeacon generates a SAR narrative draft from case facts. Analyst reviews and edits. BSA officer approves. All edits logged.

Filed to FinCEN

Approved SAR submitted via FinCEN BSA E-Filing. Confirmation number logged. Case closed. Audit trail sealed.

CTR Automation

Currency Transaction Reports — automated aggregation

$10,000

CTR Filing Threshold

FinCEN requires CTR filing for cash transactions exceeding $10,000 in a single business day. Riftbeacon auto-aggregates across multiple transactions and accounts under common ownership.

Structuring

Smurfing Pattern Detection

Customers who deliberately break large transactions into amounts just below $10K to avoid CTR filing are committing a federal crime. Riftbeacon's aggregation engine surfaces these patterns automatically.

Audit Trail

Immutable log — built for examiner review

Every action in a SAR case is logged with timestamp, user ID, and outcome. Cannot be modified after creation. Examiners see exactly what your team saw and when.
