The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) imposed 231,826 CAD on the Halifax gaming corporation (casino sector) because it failed to file suspicious transaction reports on attempted transactions despite reasonable grounds for suspicion, did not keep its compliance policies up to date and approved by a senior officer, and did not assess the money laundering risk as required. The penalty was paid in full.

Even aborted or merely attempted transactions can be reportable – cashier staff must know this.

The US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) imposed 900,000 USD on the Californian card club, which admitted wilful infringements over more than four and a half years: no effective AML programme, missing currency transaction reports (CTR) and suspicious activity reports (SAR), and record-keeping deficiencies. The infringements stemmed from decisions by management.

What organisations can take from it

Even small casinos and card clubs must file currency transaction reports and suspicious activity reports without gaps – management decisions to the contrary are considered wilful.
