SAR Confidentiality Requirements

Suspicious Activity Report (SAR)

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

 

Unauthorized disclosure of a SAR filing is a federal criminal offense.[4] 

Financial  institutions undertake an investigation process prior  to filing a SAR  to ensure that the information reported is appropriate,  complete, and  accurate. This process will often include review by  financial  investigators, management and/or attorneys prior to filing. 


To  encourage complete candor and cooperation, there are  disclosure and  evidentiary privileges that protect SAR filers. First, an  individual or  organization is precluded from discovering the existence  or contents  of a SAR that includes the individual or organization's  name. SARs  filers are immune from the discovery process.[5] Second, SAR filers enjoy immunity for all statements made in their   SARs, regardless of whether those statements were allegedly made in bad   faith.


Once  the financial institution files an SAR it is illegal for anyone in that  financial organization to speak or communicate with the subject of the  SAR.


It is a felony to provide any information contained in an SAR with anyone outside of the chain of the investigation.
