Where should victim information be entered on a SAR form?

• A. Victim information goes in the subject information
• B. If the institution took a loss, complete Box 67
• C. Victim information goes in the SAR narrative
• D. SARs are not used for elder exploitation

Answer: (C)

Victim information belongs in the SAR narrative because the narrative is where you provide a complete, chronological description of the suspicious activity, including who was involved, how the victim was affected, when and where it happened, and the sequence of events. This context helps investigators understand the roles of all parties and the impact of the scheme. The section labeled for subject information is meant for the person or entity suspected of involvement, not the victim, so placing victim data there would blur roles. Box 67 isn’t the standard place to document victim details or losses; those details are captured within the narrative to preserve the full story and context. And SARs are indeed used for elder exploitation, so that statement is not accurate.
