Question #: 14
Topic #: 3

An unusual spike in activity has occurred for a customer who is a supplier of aviation parts to a military force. The customer's current line of business is consistent with the banks records, and no adverse media hits have occurred. Which is the best reason for an investigator to continue an investigation?

AThe end-user is a military force.

BThere are no adverse media hits.

CThe customer is a supplier of aviation parts.

DThe current line of business is consistent with the bank's records.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The best reason for an investigator to continue an investigation is that the end-user is a military force. This is because supplying aviation parts to a military force may involve sanctions risk, export control risk, or human rights risk, depending on the nature and destination of the military force. The investigator should conduct further due diligence to determine if the customer is complying with the relevant laws and regulations, and if the bank is exposed to any reputational or legal risk by providing services to the customer.

Not sure if just being a supplier is enough reason to investigate further.

I think option D makes sense since the consistency with bank records usually indicates legitimacy, but the spike in activity still seems odd.

I practiced a similar question where the nature of the business was key. I feel like option C could be significant, but I'm not completely confident.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the absence of adverse media hits (option B) could actually suggest there's nothing suspicious going on.
