Multiple Choice

Ensures adherence to Bank Secrecy Act regulations.

Ensuring adherence to Bank Secrecy Act regulations is achieved through a formal BSA Compliance Program that provides the governance, policies, and controls to detect, monitor, and report suspicious activity while maintaining required records. This program embodies risk assessments, customer due diligence, ongoing monitoring, training, independent testing, and clear reporting procedures, so it coordinates all BSA-related efforts across the institution. The other items describe specific tasks or outputs—processing funds transfers, deciding when to file a SAR, and BSA reporting themselves—organizations must perform, but they operate within the broader framework of the BSA Compliance Program and do not by themselves guarantee full compliance.
