質問 # 48
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. Notify LE immediately after new transactions.
- B. Stop filing SAR/STR reports on the account and/or customer.
- C. Ensure that the request includes an end date.
- D. Contact the client for information relating to the account.
正解:C
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 # 49
An analyst reviews an alert for high volume Automated Clearing House (ACH) activity in an account. The analyst's initial research finds the account is for a commercial daycare account that receives high volumes of large government-funded ACH transactions to support the programs. The account activity consists of checks (cheques) made payable to individual names in varying dollar amounts. One check indicates rent to another business.
An Internet search finds that the daycare company owner has previous government-issued violations for safety and classroom size needs, such as not having enough chairs and tables per enrollee. These violations were issued to a different daycare name.
Simultaneous to this investigation, another analyst sends an email about negative news articles referencing local child/adult daycare companies misusing governmental grants. This prompts the financial institution (Fl) to search all businesses for names containing 'daycare' or *care'. Text searches return a number of facilities as customers at the Fl and detects that three of these businesses have a similar transaction flow of high volume government ACH funding with little to no daycare expenses.
Which red flags would be an indicator that activity is connected to a corruption/bribery typology? (Select Two.)
- A. Large checks issued to various individuals with the memos noting "gift", "thank you", "favor"
- B. Negative news found on the customer related to government-issued violations for safety
- C. Checks issued to an unrelated entity referencing "rent" and "utilities" in the memos
- D. Multiple daycare locations with no active business operations or related account activity
- E. The same beneficial owner owning several daycare centers in different locations
正解:A、B
解説:
Explanation
The red flags that would be an indicator that activity is connected to a corruption/bribery typology are large checks issued to various individuals with the memos noting "gift", "thank you", "favor" (A) and negative news found on the customer related to government-issued violations for safety (B). These red flags suggest that the customer is involved in paying or receiving bribes or kickbacks to or from government officials or other parties in exchange for favorable treatment or contracts. These red flags are consistent with some of the indicators of corruption/bribery identified by ACAMS1, such as:
Payments made to or from third parties that are not directly related to the business Payments made to or from high-risk jurisdictions or sectors Payments made with vague or incomplete descriptions or justifications Negative news or reputation of the customer or its associates The other options are not as relevant or indicative of corruption/bribery as options A and B. Checks issued to an unrelated entity referencing "rent" and "utilities" in the memos could be a legitimate business expense or a sign of other types of fraud or money laundering, such as tax evasion or shell company schemes. Multiple daycare locations with no active business operations or related account activity (D) could also be a sign of other types of fraud or money laundering, such as embezzlement or front company schemes. The same beneficial owner owning several daycare centers in different locations (E) could be a normal or legitimate business practice, depending on the size, location, and profitability of the centers.
質問 # 50
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 need to be robustly supervised so the regulator can maintain visibility in combatting TF.
- B. Small- and medium-sized MSBs are more likely to falsify records to appear less risky in order to keep the banking relationship.
- 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 at risk of allowing transactions linked to TF due to the lack of skilled compliance resources.
正解:D
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 # 51
A SAR/STR regarding money-mule activity prompts law enforcement action. Under U.S. law, the alleged money mules can be prosecuted:
- A. only if they were aware of their role and actively participated.
- B. even if they were unaware that money was transferred.
- C. in a country only if funds were transferred between accounts maintained in the same country.
- D. unless they can prove they were not aware of the origin of the funds.
正解:B
解説:
Explanation
According to U.S. law, money mules can be prosecuted even if they were unaware that money was transferred, as long as they acted with reckless disregard of the source of the funds or the purpose of the transaction1.
This is because money mules are considered to be aiding and abetting money laundering, which does not require proof of specific intent2.
References: 1: Money Mule Awareness Booklet, page 8 2: Money Laundering: An Overview of 18 U.S.C. § 1956 and Related Federal Criminal Law, page 7
質問 # 52

- A. Mutual evaluation
- B. Basel Committee
- C. Series of internal audits followed by reporting to FATF
- D. FATF Evaluation Committee
正解:A
解説:
Explanation
"The FATF measures the effectiveness of a country's efforts to combat money laundering and terrorist financing through a mutual evaluation process. During a mutual evaluation, the FATF assesses a country's legal and institutional framework, its implementation of measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, and the effectiveness of its efforts. The FATF then issues a report with recommendations for improvement" [CAMS Study Guide 6th edition, page 15-16].
質問 # 53
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 the account has multiple transfers to the same, related businesses
- C. If the account is mostly dormant or has little activity
- D. If there is negative media associated with counterparties
正解:D
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 # 55
A retail bank prepares a yearly AML risk assessment. Which inherent risk factor is likely the most relevant?
- A. The provision of remote check deposit services
- B. The provision of payable through accounts
- C. The provision of brokerage services
- D. The provision of cash services
正解:D
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).

- B. The end-user is a military force.
- C. There are no adverse media hits.
- D. The customer is a supplier of aviation parts.

質問 # 58
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. Inform Fl management of the start of a serious risk-based investigation that could result in losses and reputation risk.
- B. Inform Fl management of deficiencies in their AML program because the second client's activities were not detected.
- C. Review all accounts being reviewed by AML investigators over the past year that have opened trust accounts.
- D. Recommend a SAR/STR be filed regarding the second client's use of a questionable trust to open an account.
- E. Monitor all accounts and entities related to the second client
正解:D、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.

- D. The customer's internet protocol address does not match the identifying information provided during online registration.
- E. The customer frequently exchanges small bills for large bills.
正解:B、C
解説:
Explanation

The guide explains that two indicators that should be included in awareness training for unusual customer identification scenarios are:
A: The customer opens the account in the name of a family member who begins making large deposits.
This is an indicator of potential structuring, where a customer may be attempting to avoid triggering reporting thresholds by depositing funds in smaller amounts over time. It is important for staff to be aware of this scenario and to monitor accounts for potential suspicious activity.
B: The customer's name and home address cannot be verified.
This is an indicator of potential identity theft or other fraudulent activity. If a customer's identifying information cannot be verified, it is important for staff to conduct additional due diligence to ensure that the customer is legitimate and that the account is not being used for illicit purposes.

- B. Verifying the source of wealth for entities and natural person clients
- C. Applying higher ownership percentage requirement for beneficial ownership collection
- D. Collecting beneficial ownership details regarding the client's account

Option B is incorrect because providing too much information can make the narrative confusing and irrelevant. Option C is incorrect because the introduction should provide a summary of the suspicious activity, not the conclusion. Option D is incorrect because suspect names should be mentioned in the narrative to identify the parties involved in the suspicious activity.
