15. Filing a SAR

With the Unit21 case management system, you may select viable cases and create a FinCEN SAR report (FinCEN is the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a US government agency).

Our SAR filing dashboard pre-populates items for you based on generic information (ie SSN/TIN/EIN) in the SAR template and information from the case.
