Where in a SAR narrative should include all locations of activity?

• A. The home address
• B. The last known city
• C. All locations in which suspicious activity occurred
• D. The account number

Answer: (C)

When documenting suspicious activity, you want a complete geographic picture of where the activity took place. The right approach is to include all locations in which the suspicious activity occurred because this shows the full footprint of the activity, helps investigators map the flow of funds or actions, and reveals patterns across branches, online channels, or different jurisdictions. Listing only a single location or just a city can obscure the scope and hinder linkages to other related events. An account number identifies the customer or the account but does not describe where the activity happened, and listing a home address or a last-known city alone also fails to capture all the places involved. Including every location where activity occurred provides the most useful context for the investigation.
