Answer: Each federal regulator has its own specific rule on reporting SAR filings to a financial institution's board (or designated committee). You should review the regulatory provision that applies to your institution. The citations are: • OCC: 12 CFR 21.11(h) • FRB: 12 CFR 208.62(h) • FDIC: 12 CFR 353.3(f) • OTS: 12 CFR 563.180(d)(9) • NCUA: 12 CFR 748.1(c)(4) Perhaps of more value is this excerpt from page 68 of the 2007 FFIEC BSA/AML Examination Manual: Notifying Board of Directors of SAR Filings Copyright©1994-2010 by Credit Union Resources & Educational Services, LLC.

(5) Confidentiality of reports. SARs are confidential. Any credit union, including its officials, employees, and agents, subpoenaed or otherwise requested to disclose a SAR or the information in a SAR must decline to produce the SAR or to provide any information that would disclose that a SAR was prepared or filed, citing this part, applicable law, for example, 31 U.S.C. 5318(g), or both, and notify NCUA of the request. A credit union must make the filed report and all supporting documentation available to appropriate law enforcement authorities and its regulatory supervisory authority upon request. RTS Note on Appropriate Law Enforcement Agencies Credit Unions are now required to disclose documentation supporting the filing of a Suspicious Activity Report to “appropriate law enforcement agencies” upon request. (The Banking regulators have defined this further as “federal, state or local law enforcement agencies and I feel relatively safe in following this lead). The regulation does not go further to provide Credit Unions with a free hand to share a SAR, or the information contained therein, with law enforcement agency absent such a request. As a general rule of thumb, an “appropriate law enforcement agency” is any agency that has jurisdiction under federal or state law to investigate or prosecute any person or entity involved in the transaction reported on the Suspicious Activity Report. If you have questions on a case by case basis, consult with your legal or compliance adviser. NOTE: Various OCC and OTS Advisory Letters (See for Example OCC AL 2001-4) indicate that a Credit Union is to file the SAR and report certain crimes to law enforcement.
