We filed a SAR on a customer about 70 days ago. In reviewing the account as part of our 90-day review process, we noted, that the prior activity stopped, but there is now new, non-related, activity we wish to file a SAR on.

Should we file a new SAR or added the amount to the prior amount and do it as a repeat SAR?

Thanks

New suspect activity unrelated to previously reported activity should be chronicled in its own SAR.

Just because the activity changed doesn't mean it's a new SAR. You would include the running total from the previous SAR.

I'd file a 90-day follow-up SAR if the new activity is related to the previously-reported activity. I'd file a completely new SAR if the new activity is not related (but I'd cross-reference the previous filing in the narrative).

I agree with John. Give it a new SAR, but reference the DCN from the previous SAR in your narrative to tie them together for law enforcement.
