How to create a SAR

To create a finCEN report:

1. Head to Report Filings in the Unit21 dashboard.
2. Make sure to select the FinCEN SAR tab.
3. From there, you can create a new SAR or edit an existing SAR.

SARs can also be created from cases.

SARs can be created from alerts if you have access to a specific workflow.

You can create 4 types of reports:

• Initial Report - A standard and original FinCEN SAR
• Corrected / Amended Report - A corrected report on a previously-filed FinCEN SAR or prior
  SAR versions must be filed whenever errors are discovered in the data reported in that FinCEN
  SAR.
• Continuing Report - A continuing report should be filed on suspicious activity that
  continues after an initial FinCEN SAR is filed.
• Joint Report - A FinCEN SAR may be jointly filed when two or more distinct financial
  institutions collaborate in filing a single FinCEN SAR on suspicious activity involving all of the
  collaborating financial institutions.

Each report has five sections:

• Step 0: Home: Information about your organization and the reporting agent.
• Step 1: Filing Institution: Information about your organization and the reporting agent.
• Step 2: Financial Institution: Information about the organization where the fraud occurred.
• Step 3: Subject Information: Information about the fraudulent entity.
• Step 4: Suspicious Activity Information: Information about the fraudulent transactions.
• Step 5: Narrative: Free-form, explanatory notes about the Case and the motivations for filing
