What is a possible outcome after an in-depth case review within Transaction Monitoring?

• A. The case is escalated to SAR
• B. The case is ignored by management
• C. The case is closed or confirmed as suspicious
• D. The case is archived without review

Answer: (C)

After a thorough case review in transaction monitoring, a clear disposition is reached: the activity is either deemed benign and the case is closed, or it is found to be suspicious and the case is confirmed for further action. In practice, confirming a case as suspicious typically leads to the next step of escalating or filing a SAR, but the immediate outcome of the review itself is the decision to close or confirm as suspicious. Choosing anything else—ignoring the case, or archiving it without review—contradicts the purpose of the in-depth review, and while escalation to a SAR can follow a suspicious finding, it is not the direct result of the review itself.
