質問 # 32
A KYC specialist from the first line of defense at a bank initiates an internal escalation based on a letter of credit received by the bank.
MEMO
To: Jane Doe. Compliance Manager, Bank B From: Jack Brown, KYC Specialist, Bank B RE: Concerning letter of credit A letter of credit (LC) was received from a correspondent bank. Bank A. in Country A. in Asia with strict capital controls, providing guarantee of payment to Bank B's client for the export of 10 luxury cars located in Country B. located in Europe. Bank A's customer is a general in the army where Bank A is headquartered.
The information contained in the LC is as follows:
* Advising amount per unit 30.000.00 EU *10 units of BMW
* Model IX3
* Year of registration: 2020
Upon checks on Bank B's client, the exporter mentioned that the transactions were particularly important, and a fast process would be much appreciated in order to avoid reputational damage to the firm and the banks involved in the trade finance process. The exporter has a longstanding relationship with Bank B and was clearly a good income generator. The exporter indicated that, as a general, the importer was trustworthy.
The relationship manager <RM) was contacted to conduct a full review of the exporter and to conduct a site visit.
Feedback from the RM:
The RM contacted the exporter for a client courtesy visit, but it was rearranged four times as the exporter kept cancelling the appointments. When the exporter was finally pinned down for an interview, employees were reluctant to provide clear answers about the basis of the transaction. The employees were evasive when asked about the wider business and trade activity in the country.
Findings from the investigation from various internal and external sources of information:
* There were no negative news or sanctions hits on the exporter company, directors, and shareholders.
* The registered address of the exporting business was a residential address.
* The price of the cats was checked and confirmed to be significantly below the market price of approximately
70,000 EU, based on manufacturer's new price guide.
* The key controllers behind the exporting company, that is the directors and During the investigation, the investigator determines that a nephew of the general.....
- A. should be treated well to avoid reputational damage to the bank
- B. should be flagged as a senior PEP.
- C. is a high-net-worth individual
- D. is a trustworthy source.
正解：B
解説：
Explanation
The investigator should determine that a nephew of the general (Bank A's customer) should be flagged as a senior PEP . This is because the nephew is related to a senior military official who is a customer of Bank A, which is a high-risk jurisdiction with strict capital controls. According to the ACAMS Advanced Financial Crimes Investigations Certification Study Guide1, "the FI should identify and flag any customers who are PEPs or have close associations with PEPs, such as family members or business partners" (p. 24). The FI should also conduct enhanced due diligence on these customers and monitor their transactions for any suspicious or unusual activity.
The other options are not correct. The investigator should not determine that a nephew of the general should be treated well to avoid reputational damage to the bank (A), as this could compromise the integrity and objectivity of the investigation, as well as expose the bank to legal or regulatory risks. The investigator should not determine that a nephew of the general is a high-net-worth individual (B), as this is not relevant or material to the investigation, as the nephew's wealth does not affect his potential PEP status or risk level. The investigator should not determine that a nephew of the general is a trustworthy source (D), as this could be biased or inaccurate, as the nephew's trustworthiness does not depend on his relation to the general or his involvement in the transaction.

質問 # 33
Why is a more robust supervisory approach needed by regulators when overseeing small- and medium-sized money service businesses (MSBs) compared to larger MSBs for combatting terrorist financing (TF)?
- A. Small- and medium-sized MSBs are more at risk of allowing transactions linked to TF due to the lack of skilled compliance resources.
- B. Small- and medium-sized MSBs need to be robustly supervised so the regulator can maintain visibility in combatting TF.
- C. Small- and medium-sized MSBs need to be targeted to ensure that competition in the industry remains constant and uniform.
- D. Small- and medium-sized MSBs are more likely to falsify records to appear less risky in order to keep the banking relationship.
正解：A
解説：
Explanation
A more robust supervisory approach is needed by regulators when overseeing small- and medium-sized MSBs compared to larger MSBs for combatting TF because small- and medium-sized MSBs are more at risk of allowing transactions linked to TF due to the lack of skilled compliance resources. Small- and medium-sized MSBs may face challenges in implementing effective AML/CFT controls, such as conducting risk assessments, applying customer due diligence measures, monitoring transactions, detecting suspicious activities, and reporting to the authorities. They may also have limited access to training, guidance, and tools to enhance their compliance capabilities. Therefore, regulators need to provide more supervision and support to small- and medium-sized MSBs to ensure that they comply with the AML/CFT requirements and mitigate the TF risks.

質問 # 34
The compliance learn is reviewing multiple data points to include in its data analytics program to detect shell or front company red flags. Which data points should the compliance team include? (Select Two.)
- A. Entities with high paid-up capital relative to monthly value of transactions
- B. Entities with a large number and variety of beneficiaries not declared at the time of onboarding
- C. Entities exhibiting transactions with declared counterparties
- D. Entities transacting with or having relation to tax haven or high-risk countries
- E. Entities whose principal place of business is a non-residential address
正解：D、E
解説：
Explanation
The data points that the compliance team should include in its data analytics program to detect shell or front company red flags are entities whose principal place of business is a non-residential address and entities transacting with or having relation to tax haven or high-risk countries. These data points may indicate that the entities are not conducting legitimate business activities, but rather are used to conceal the identity or location of the true beneficiaries or owners, or to facilitate money laundering, tax evasion, or other illicit activities.
Some of the sources that support these data points as red flags are4567:
Entities whose principal place of business is a non-residential address may indicate that they have no physical presence, operations, assets, or employees. They may use addresses such as post office boxes, mail forwarding services, registered agents, or virtual offices to avoid detection or scrutiny.
Entities transacting with or having relation to tax haven or high-risk countries may indicate that they are involved in offshore financial activities that are designed to evade taxes, regulations, or sanctions. They may also be exposed to higher risks of money laundering, terrorist financing, corruption, or fraud.

質問 # 36
SAR/STR NARRATIVE
A SAR/STR has been submitted on five transactions conducted on the correspondent banking relationship with ABC Bank.
Client Information:
Remitter information: DEF Oil Resource Ltd. is the oldest member of the DEF Group. It was founded in 1977 as a general trading business with a primary focus on exports from Africa and North America. The group has business activities that span the entire energy value chain. Their core field of endeavor is centered within the oil and gas industry and its associated sub-sectors.
Beneficiary Information:
As per the response received from ABC Bank, it was determined that the beneficiaries are related to DEF Oil Resource Ltd. These were created by DEF Oil Resource Ltd. to purchase property in a foreign country on behalf of their senior management as part of a bonus scheme. The purpose behind this payment was for purchase of property in another country.
Payment Reference:
ABCXXXXX31PZFG2H
ABCXXXXXX51PQGEH
ABCXXXXXX214QWVG
ABCXXXXXX41PSXA2
ABCXXXXXX815QWS3
Concerns:
* We are unsure about the country of incorporation of the beneficiaries.
* We are concerned about the transactional activity since the payment made towards entities (conducted on behalf of individuals) appears to be possible tax evasion.
* There appears to be an attempt to conceal the identity of individuals (senior management), which again raises concerns about the source of funds.
* Referring to the response received from ABC Bank, we are unclear about the ultimate beneficiary of funds.
* The remitter is involved in a high-risk business, (i.e., oil and crude products trading), and the beneficiary is involved in a real estate business which again poses a higher risk.
The monitoring system of the correspondent institution flags the transaction as suspicious activity. The correspondent bank needs to send a request for information to the respondent bank. Which elements should be included in the request? (Select Three.)
- A. Full transaction history of the correspondent bank's customer
- B. The contract pertaining to the purchase of property in another country
- C. The respondent bank's customer's senior management bonus plan
- D. The last 6 months of transactional history
- E. Details of DEF Oil Resource Ltd parent company and the name(s) of the beneficial owner(s)
- F. The account profile of the customer and their KYC data
正解：B、E、F
解説：
Explanation
The request for information should include the following elements:
Details of DEF Oil Resource Ltd parent company and the name(s) of the beneficial owner(s) (Option A): This is necessary to verify the identity and ownership structure of the remitter and to assess the risk level of the customer and the transaction.
The account profile of the customer and their KYC data (Option C): This is necessary to understand the nature and purpose of the customer's business relationship with the respondent bank and to compare it with the observed transactional activity.
The contract pertaining to the purchase of property in another country (Option E): This is necessary to verify the legitimacy and source of funds for the transaction and to identify the ultimate beneficiary of funds.
The other options are not relevant or necessary for the request for information. The full transaction history of the correspondent bank's customer (Option B) is too broad and may not be related to suspicious activity. The respondent bank's customer's senior management bonus plan (Option D) is not relevant to the transaction and may not be available to the respondent bank. The last 6 months of transactional history (Option F) is also too broad and may not be related to the suspicious activity.

- B. A company has a new beneficial owner.
- C. A company sends a recurring payment to a new account number.

正解：C
解説：
Explanation
When writing or reviewing a SAR/STR, it is important to ensure that the narrative is kept to the point; easy to read; and addresses the who, what, when, where, why, and how. This is because the narrative is the most crucial part of the SAR/STR, as it provides a clear and concise summary of the suspicious activity or transaction that triggered the report. The narrative should include all the relevant information that would help law enforcement or regulators to understand the nature and context of the activity or transaction, such as123:
The who: The names, addresses, account numbers, and other identifying information of the parties involved in the activity or transaction, such as customers, beneficiaries, intermediaries, or third parties.
The what: The type, amount, frequency, and purpose of the activity or transaction, such as cash deposits, wire transfers, check payments, or purchases of goods or services.
The when: The date, time, and duration of the activity or transaction, and whether it was a one-time occurrence or part of a pattern or trend.
The where: The location or channel of the activity or transaction, such as branches, ATMs, online platforms, or mobile applications.
The why: The reason or rationale for the activity or transaction, and why it was considered suspicious or unusual based on the customer's profile, behavior, or expected activity.
The how: The method or mechanism of the activity or transaction, such as cash, check, debit card, credit card, cryptocurrency, or prepaid card.

質問 # 38
A compliance analyst is reviewing the account activity of a customer that they suspect may be indicative of money laundering activity. Which is difficult to determine solely from the customer's account activity and KYC file?
- A. If the activity is materially different from related businesses
- B. If there is negative media associated with counterparties
- C. If the account is mostly dormant or has little activity
- D. If the account has multiple transfers to the same, related businesses
正解：B
解説：
Explanation
According to the Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) study guide, 6th edition, page 105, the correct answer is C. It can be difficult to determine if there is negative media associated with counterparties solely from the customer's account activity and KYC file.
The study guide explains that negative media can include news articles, government sanctions lists, and other sources of public information that may indicate that a counterparty is involved in illicit activities. However, this information may not be readily available in a customer's account activity or KYC file, and may require additional research or investigation.
質問 # 39
A retail bank prepares a yearly AML risk assessment. Which inherent risk factor is likely the most relevant?
- A. The provision of brokerage services
- B. The provision of cash services
- C. The provision of remote check deposit services
- D. The provision of payable through accounts
正解：B
解説：
Explanation
Retail banks typically have a high inherent risk of money laundering due to their provision of cash services.
This is because cash is a preferred medium of exchange for criminals and terrorists, and retail banks provide a convenient way for them to move large sums of money without detection. Retail banks are also vulnerable to money laundering through the use of false identities and other deceptive practices. (CAMS Manual, 6th Edition, Page 8).
質問 # 40
Law enforcement (LE) suspects human trafficking to occur during a major sporting event. LE officers asked several financial institutions (FIs) to monitor financial transactions occurring before, during, and after the event.
An investigator identified a pattern linked to a business. The business' account received multiple even dollar deposits between midnight and 4:00 AM. They occurred each day for several days prior to the date of the sporting event. Also, large cash deposits, typically between 2,000 USD and 3,000 USD. made by a person to the business' account occurred in many branches in the days after the sports event.
There was little information about the company. The company did not have any history of employee payroll expenses or paying taxes. Expenses from the business account included air travel and hotel expenses. Searches about the person making cash deposits showed little. An online social media platform webpage with the individual's name showed ads for dates" and "companionship." The Fl receives a keep open' letter from LE for the identified account and agrees to keep the account open.
What is the Fl required to do?
- A. Contact the client for information relating to the account.
- B. Notify LE immediately after new transactions.
- C. Stop filing SAR/STR reports on the account and/or customer.
- D. Ensure that the request includes an end date.
正解：D
解説：
Explanation
The FI is required to ensure that the request includes an end date when it receives a keep open letter from LE for the identified account. This is because the FI has to balance its legal obligations to cooperate with LE and to protect its customers' privacy and rights. According to the ACAMS Advanced Financial Crimes Investigations Certification Study Guide1, "the FI should request a written confirmation from LE that includes a specific end date for the request, as well as a point of contact for any questions or concerns" (p. 35). The FI should also document the request and its compliance with it, and continue to monitor the account for any suspicious activity.
The other options are not correct. The FI should not contact the client for information relating to the account (A), as this could compromise the LE investigation or alert the client of the suspicion. The FI should not stop filing SAR/STR reports on the account and/or customer (B), as this could violate its regulatory obligations and expose it to legal risks. The FI should not notify LE immediately after new transactions (D), as this could also interfere with the LE investigation or tip off the client. The FI should follow the instructions of LE regarding when and how to share information.
質問 # 41
Potentially suspicious activity following an increase in the volume of transactions by an import company included outgoing wires to Indonesia and Uganda referencing invoice numbers. Incoming funds included large cash deposits and checks/wires from pet stores, breeders, and private individuals. What financial crime might the bank reference in the SAR/STR?
- A. International drug trafficking
- B. Tax evasion scheme
- C. Illegal wildlife trade
- D. Black market peso exchange
正解：C
解説：
Explanation
The best reason the EU bank should file a SAR/STR is that the events raise concerns that the payment represents proceeds from illegal wildlife trade, which is a serious financial crime and a predicate offense for money laundering in many jurisdictions3. The fact that the incoming funds came from pet stores, breeders, and private individuals suggests that the import company may be involved in smuggling or trafficking endangered or protected animals or their parts4. The outgoing wires to Indonesia and Uganda, which are known source countries for wildlife trafficking, may indicate payments to suppliers or facilitators of this illicit activity.

質問 # 42
A client with many personal and business deposits with the financial institution (Fl) seeks a business loan. The client wants to guarantee the loan with a trust for which they are the beneficiary.
An investigator examines the trust. The trust has many layers, including shell companies in known tax havens.
The client's ultimate beneficial ownership claim cannot be validated, and the loan is denied.
Two months later, the Fl receives a law enforcement (LE) request on one of the client's business accounts.
While reviewing the business account, the Fl receives another LE request on the same account from another agency. The requested information is shared.
Three months later, a branch manager receives a request to open a business deposit account related to a complex trust. The manager forwarded the request because of the complexity. The trust was the same as the previously examined trust, but the request came from a different client. The second client also has many accounts with the Fl. Further inspection finds links between the second client and the Paradise Papers. The Papers state the client led illegal activities and committed tax evasion.
What steps should the investigator take to review the accounts held by the second client who is listed in the Paradise Papers? (Select Two.)
- A. Recommend a SAR/STR be filed regarding the second client's use of a questionable trust to open an account.
- B. Review all accounts being reviewed by AML investigators over the past year that have opened trust accounts.
- C. Inform Fl management of deficiencies in their AML program because the second client's activities were not detected.
- D. Inform Fl management of the start of a serious risk-based investigation that could result in losses and reputation risk.
- E. Monitor all accounts and entities related to the second client
正解：A、E
解説：
Explanation
The investigator should recommend a SAR/STR be filed regarding the second client's use of a questionable trust to open an account, as this could indicate an attempt to conceal the source and ownership of funds, and to evade taxes and sanctions. The investigator should also monitor all accounts and entities related to the second client, as they may be involved in illegal activities or pose a high risk to the FI. The investigator should not review all accounts that have opened trust accounts, as this would be too broad and inefficient. The investigator should not inform FI management of deficiencies in their AML program, as this is not their role or responsibility. The investigator should not inform FI management of the start of a serious risk-based investigation, as this may compromise the confidentiality and integrity of the investigation.
質問 # 43
A financial institution (Fl) banks a money transmitter business (MTB) located in Miami. The MTB regularly initiates wire transfers with the ultimate beneficiary in Cuba and legally sells travel packages to Cuba. The wire transfers for money remittances comply with the country's economic sanctions policies. A Fl investigator on the sanctions team reviews each wire transfer to ensure compliance with sanctions and to monitor transfer details.
An airline located in Cuba, unrelated to the business, legally sells airline tickets in Cuba to Cuban citizens wanting to travel outside of Cuba. The airline tickets are purchased using Cuban currency (CUC).
The MTB wants 100,000 USD worth of CUC. Purchasing CUC from a Cuban bank includes a 4% fee. The MTB contacts the airline to ask if the airline will trade its CUC for USD at a lower exchange fee than the Cuban bank. The airline agrees to a 1% fee. The MTB initiates a wire transfer to the airline which appears as normal activity in the monitoring system because of the business' travel package sales.
The investigator recommends that a SAR/STR be filed. What documentation should be referenced in the SAR/STR filing? (Select Three.)
- A. All documents related to the agreement between the airline and the MTB
- B. Account documentation on all related accounts maintained by the MTB
- C. Cumulative dollar amount of the wire transfer activity
- D. Cumulative dollar amount for transactions listing for all the MTB account's wire activity regarding travel packages
- E. Licensing information regarding the travel agency providing tourist sales to Cuba
- F. Airline's ticket sales and passenger list
正解：C

Explanation
The most likely reason for conducting a reverse transaction is to conceal or launder illicit funds. A reverse transaction is a transaction that reverses a previous transaction, such as a refund, a chargeback, or a cancellation. Reverse transactions can be used by money launderers to obscure the source, ownership, or destination of funds, or to create false records or invoices. For example, a money launderer may initiate a wire transfer from a high-risk jurisdiction to a low-risk jurisdiction, and then reverse the transaction after receiving confirmation of the funds. This way, the money launderer can create a paper trail that shows legitimate funds coming from a low-risk jurisdiction, while hiding the true origin of the funds.

質問 # 44
A client at a financial institution deposits large amounts of money into an account, and almost immediately, the funds are then distributed to numerous individuals' accounts. The transaction activity described in the scenario is a pattern of:
- A. geographic usage.
- B. deposit trading.
- C. account usage.
- D. safe deposit custody.
正解：B
解説：
Explanation
Deposit trading is a pattern of suspicious activity where a client deposits large amounts of money into an account, and then transfers the funds to other accounts, often in different jurisdictions or countries. This could be an attempt to disguise the source or destination of the funds, or to avoid reporting requirements. Deposit trading is also known as layering, which is the second stage of money laundering.
References: ACAMS Advanced Financial Crimes Investigations Certification Study Guide, page 43; ACAMS Glossary, page 34.
質問 # 45
An AML investigator at a bank identifies an unusually high number of deposits from a few customers resulting from the encashment of multiple gambling tickets from a legitimate gambling company. It is noted that the transactions are inconsistent with the customers' profiles and that reverse (corrective) transactions did not occur. Which suspicious activity is most likely?
- A. The winning tickets are traded to criminals who. in turn, use the customers' accounts.
- B. The customers are attempting to evade income tax.
- C. The customers deposited fake winning tickets.
- D. The gambling company created fictitious transactions in an attempt to misrepresent the size of its business activity.
正解：A
解説：
Explanation
The correct answer is A because this scenario describes a possible case of ticket laundering, which is a form of money laundering where criminals use gambling tickets to disguise the source of their illicit funds. The customers who deposit the tickets are either complicit or unaware of the scheme, and they receive a commission or a fee for their service. The other options are not likely because they do not explain why the customers would deposit multiple tickets from the same gambling company and withdraw cash the next day.
