Which term refers to accounts held by a named suspect currently?

Current accounts refers to the accounts a named suspect is holding at the present time. In BSA/AML work, this terminology points to the ongoing banking relationships of an identified individual, focusing on what they currently have rather than past activity or documents. The other options describe what you would do or consult (a records search), a time frame (preceding 12 months), or a guidance resource (the FFIEC BSA/AML Exam Manual), rather than a descriptor of the accounts themselves.
