D) 120 days
Solution
Answer
The answer is A) 30 days
Explanation
Option 1: 30 days
This is the correct answer. According to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) guidelines, a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) must be filed within 30 calendar days of the initial detection of facts that may constitute a basis for filing a SAR.
Option 2: 130 days
This is incorrect. There is no regulatory guideline that allows for a 130-day period for filing a SAR.
Option 3: 90 days
This is incorrect. While 90 days might be a reasonable time frame for other types of reports or actions, it does not apply to the filing of a SAR.
Option 4: 120 days
This is incorrect. Similar to the 130-day option, there is no regulatory guideline that allows for a 120-day period for filing a SAR.
