At a small community bank, the compliance officer identifies unusual activity on a customer, who with his personal and company accounts, is the bank's largest depositor. The customer's companies have significant balances on their outstanding loans. The compliance officer notices that there is a lot of unusual movements of money between the customer's individual and business accounts. After filing a suspicious transaction report (STR), the compliance officer gets a call from law enforcement indicating that they want the bank to keep the account open while they conduct an investigation into the customer.
How should the compliance officer escalate this information to the board of directors?
A. By providing a copy of the STR to the board
B. By informing the regulator to bring it up with their next meeting with the board
C. By providing a high level summary of the activity and the interactions with law enforcement
D. By providing a copy of the letter from law enforcement asking the bank to keep the account open. Most Voted
