Which term refers to a report that involves coordination among several financial institutions?

In bank reporting, when more than one financial institution collaborates on a single case of potentially suspicious activity, they file a Joint Suspicious Activity Report. This term specifically denotes coordination across institutions, allowing shared insight and a coordinated filing to FinCEN. The other terms don’t capture that collaborative aspect: Reporting Thresholds are the monetary or activity levels that trigger a filing, not a joint report; Supporting Documentation are the attachments that back up the SAR; Suspicious Activity Description is the narrative explaining why the activity is suspicious, not the fact that multiple banks are involved.
