يسري تنفيذه من تاريخ 3/8/2022

In certain cases, an alert or case may need to be dispositioned and an STR or SAR filed more rapidly than usual processes allow. In such cases, the alert will be dispositioned and the STR or SAR filed according to the expedited review timeline as laid out below.

Circumstances where expedited review is expected include:

 The activity requires immediate attention (as defined above); and
 The facts available at the alert review stage are or may be sufficient to warrant an STR or SAR filing without further investigation.
 

The following table summarizes the recommended suspicious activity review, investigation, and reporting timelines in the event of escalation for expedited review.
