I'll take a stab and give you a quicky:
Well lets see...the average teller at our FI makes between $8.66 and $17.31 an hour....lets use $12.00 per hour as an average or .20 cents a minute.
Tellers complete the CTR using the BSA E-Filing system and email it to the Compliance Dept for review: 6-8 Min. (times are worst case scenario-could be shorter if they have pre-made templates for recurring customers, this is common when using the E-Filing system)
Tellers make copies of deposit slips, Cash in tickets, Change order Slips, etc and interbranch to Compliance: 6-8 Min. (could be shorter or longer depending on the mood of the copier)
Misc. Time: 2 min.
Total time to complete CTR, email to Compliance,Make copies and send interbranch to Compliance: 18 Minutes (worst case scenario-I've personally done it in less than 10 minutes)
18 min. X .20C and hour: = $3.60 per CTR.
We file an average of about 250 CTRs a month.
250 X $3.60 = $900 a month or $10,800 a year
These figures don't include what happens to the CTR after it gets to the Compliance Dept.
I've got a Compliance Analyst that works 25 hours a week and does nothing but review and file CTRs. $15.00 an hour or .25C a minute
The branch will email the CTR to the Analyst. She in turn will look at the CTR for accuracy. She will compare the CTR to the Agg. Report and copies of the transaction. You need all of these to determine if the CTR was completed accurately. All in all, that takes about 1-2 minutes per CTR.
Then she will save the CTR in a file for that specific day. Once all the CTRs have been accounted for on that day, she will send them one by one via the BSA-Efile System. It takes about 15 seconds to send a CTR. A few days go by, and we get confirmation from BSA E-file if the CTR is correct or an error. She saves those confirmations in the same file as the CTRs by date. Again, that takes about 15 seconds per CTR.
2 minutes for review: .25C a minute x 2 minutes = .50C
Send/receive CTR via BSA E-File: .25c a minute x 1 minute = .25c
Total= .75C a CTR.
Recap:
$3.60 from above, plus .75C = $4.35 per CTR from creation, review, submission, and confirmation.
$4.35 x 250 (monthly CTR avg) = $1,087.50 a month x 12 months = $13,050.00 a year
So my not-so-quick answer to your questions would be No, not even close to $10.00 a CTR. Not in today's environment with electronic filing. I'd say it's closer to $5.00 However, Banks still filing by paper could be an entirely different ball game.
