Sar Filing

Overview

CaseMark's SAR Filing skill transforms transaction records, investigation files, and KYC documentation into comprehensive, FinCEN-ready Suspicious Activity Reports. It automates subject identification, transaction timeline construction, red-flag analysis, and activity classification—producing a complete Form 111 draft that your BSA/AML team can review and file with confidence.

Drafting Suspicious Activity Reports is one of the most time-intensive tasks in BSA/AML compliance. Analysts must manually compile subject details, reconstruct transaction timelines, identify red flags across disparate data sources, and write detailed narratives—all under strict regulatory deadlines. Errors or incomplete filings can result in significant regulatory penalties and enforcement actions.

CaseMark automates the heavy lifting of SAR preparation by ingesting your transaction records, investigation files, and KYC documentation, then generating a structured, FinCEN-ready draft. The AI identifies subjects, maps relationships, flags suspicious patterns, and produces clear narratives—letting your compliance team focus on review and judgment rather than manual data assembly.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload transaction records, investigation files, and KYC documentation

  2. 2. AI analyzes transactions, identifies red flags, and classifies suspicious activity patterns

  3. 3. Review the generated SAR draft with subject details, timelines, and narrative sections

  4. 4. Export the FinCEN-ready SAR filing in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Does CaseMark support Initial, Continuing, and Corrective SAR filings?

Yes. CaseMark handles all three filing types. For Continuing filings, it automatically references prior BSA IDs and identifies new triggering activity. For Corrective filings, it highlights the specific fields or narrative sections being amended.

How does CaseMark handle the SAR narrative section?

CaseMark constructs the narrative by synthesizing transaction data, investigation notes, and red-flag indicators into a clear, chronological account of suspicious activity. The narrative follows FinCEN best practices for completeness and clarity, which you can review and refine before submission.

Can CaseMark identify red flags and classify activity types automatically?

Yes. CaseMark analyzes uploaded transaction records and investigation files to detect common red-flag patterns such as structuring, rapid movement of funds, and unusual account activity. It maps these to standard FinCEN activity classifications for your review.

Does CaseMark verify SAR filing thresholds and deadlines?

CaseMark automatically checks whether transactions meet the $5,000 (subject identified) or $25,000 (no subject) thresholds and calculates the 30- or 60-day filing deadline from the detection date. These are surfaced in the compliance checklist for your confirmation.

Is my data secure when processing sensitive financial information?

Absolutely. CaseMark employs enterprise-grade encryption, strict access controls, and SOC 2-compliant infrastructure. Your transaction records, investigation files, and KYC data are never used to train AI models and remain fully under your control.

Can multiple compliance team members collaborate on a SAR draft?

Yes. CaseMark supports team-based workflows so BSA officers, investigators, and compliance analysts can each contribute to and review the SAR before final submission. Audit trails track all changes for regulatory documentation purposes.
