CTR on Returned Stolen Money?

Answered by:

Question:

We were robbed recently and all but $4 was recovered the same day! When the currency was returned to us, we made an in-ticket and credited the proper amounts to our tellers’ cash. Would this transaction be subject to a CTR Filing?

Answer:

It's unusual for law enforcement to return cash from a robbery so quickly. If the funds were received from a government law enforcement agency, you could avoid the issue altogether by treating the law enforcement agency as exempt.
