Figure 11-1 CTR E-File Workflow



Once an E-File is generated from the approved reports, an authorized user must submit this E-File to the FinCEN BSA E-Filing system.

The FinCEN BSA E-Filing system validates the submission and provide an acknowledgment. If the E-File is free from fatal errors then only an acknowledgment (XML file) is generated.

Download this acknowledgment from the FinCEN BSA E-Filing system and upload it to the CTR CS application to complete the E-Filing process.

If the E-File is rejected then the FinCEN BSA E-Filing system generates message XML.
