6.14 Configuring CAR

A Continuing Activity Report (CAR) is filed on suspicious activity that continues after an initial SAR is filed with FinCEN.

In the ECM system, when you close and file a SAR on an AML case, a new Continuing Activity (AML_CA) case is created, and an Initial Report is created in the CRR system.

When SAR is uploaded in FinCEN system, the FinCEN revert with Message XML. This Message XML must be uploaded in CRR application via Batch. This where CAR API updates the case due date.

In the CRR system, when an initial SAR is filed with FinCEN, you will receive an Acknowledgment generated by the FinCEN E-File System. The acknowledgment file contains a BSA Identifier.

The SAR filed details are passed to the ECM system. An API URL is invoked to send this information from CRR to ECM.

Note:

This is applicable only for SDTM enabled configuration.

To configure the API URL, follow these steps:

1. Log into the Atomic schema and execute the following query.

   update appln_parameters set V_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE4 = <http://<hostname>:<port>/<context>/ecmcrr-rest-api>where t.n_param_identifier=2;

   For example, http://<hostname>:<port>/<context>/ecmcrr-rest-api

   This API URL update is required to send the Basic Details (Previous Case, Total Suspicious Amount, Date Range of Suspicious Activity, Prior BSA Identification Number, Cumulative Violation Amount, SAR Filed Date), Subject of Previous SAR (Customer, External Entity, and Account), Typologies from the SAR (Cyber Events, Fraud Type, Gaming Activities, etc.), Narrative of the filed SAR, and CAR due date from CRR to ECM.
