Acams CAMS Exam - Topic 2 Question 76 Discussion

A financial institution in a jurisdiction with currency reporting thresholds is undergoing a branch office compliance review. A large number of currency transactions in amounts exceeding a reporting threshold were discovered without a currency transaction report (CTR) being filed. The transactions were handled by the same teller (cashier). This teller (cashier) was recently hired and had not received anti-money laundering training yet. The branch manager received daily exception reports of all large currency transactions as well as a report of all CTR filings. Which of the following should the compliance officer recommend as the initial action?
A) Terminate the teller's (cashier's) employment prior to the expiration of the probation peri-od.
B) An audit should be conducted for cash transactions since the last compliance review.
C) The branch manager should be formally reprimanded for failing to ensure proper instruc-tion was given.
D) The teller's (cashier's) employment should be suspended with pay pending appropriate training.

An audit is definitely needed to see the full picture here.

I agree, suspending with pay seems fair until they get trained.

Sounds like a training issue more than a firing one.

I think an audit is necessary, but I wonder if that should be the first step. Option B might be too reactive when we need to address the training issue first.

I’m a bit confused about whether terminating the teller's employment is too harsh without giving them a chance to learn. Option A seems extreme to me.

I feel like we had a similar practice question where the focus was on accountability. Maybe option C could be a valid choice since the branch manager should have ensured training was provided.

I remember we discussed the importance of training for new hires, so I think option D makes sense, but I'm not sure if suspension is the right approach.

I'm a bit torn on this one. Terminating the teller's employment might be justified, but suspending them with pay for training seems like a more reasonable first step. I'll need to weigh the options carefully.

The branch manager definitely dropped the ball here. I'd recommend formally reprimanding them for the lack of oversight. That should send a clear message that this kind of thing can't be tolerated.

Okay, so we have a new teller who didn't know the proper procedures, and a branch manager who didn't ensure they were properly trained. I think an audit is a good idea to get a full picture of what's been happening.

Hmm, terminating the teller's employment right away seems a bit harsh, especially since they haven't received the necessary training yet. I'm leaning more towards the suspension with pay option.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is asking what the administrator should check next, but the options don't seem directly related to disk utilization. I'll need to think this through carefully.

Okay, let's see. The key here is to identify the main risk concerns when a cloud provider is acquired. I think I've got a good strategy for this.

Can we talk about how the branch manager was getting 'daily exception reports'? Talk about a paperwork nightmare!

Suspend the teller with pay? Sounds like a paid vacation to me! But hey, at least they're getting the training they need.

Reprimanding the branch manager? Nah, I think that's just passing the buck. The teller should be the one to get the training, no doubt about it.

An audit is definitely the way to go. Gotta make sure those transactions are legit and not part of some shady money laundering scheme.
