How do I create a corrected / amended SAR?

Click the correct / amend button on the SAR you want to correct or amend

Prerequisites

  • Permissions to View, Edit and Amend SARs required

Overview

Corrected/amended SARs are treated as new filings by FinCEN. In Kinectify, initiating a correction creates a new SAR titled Corrected/Amended SAR, referencing the original SAR’s BSA ID. When the SAR chain features are off, the original case is migrated to a Correct/Amended case and the case status updates to Amending. The original BSA ID is moved to the Prior BSA ID.

You can initiate the Corrected/Amended SAR creation from:

  • Global SAR page: Filter and click Amend SAR button in the last column
      

  • Player Profile > SAR tab: Click Amend SAR next to the SAR
      

  • SAR Status page: Click Amend SAR within the Next steps section:  

Once initiated, the system mirrors updates between the SAR and its associated case. The case ID remains the same, but the title reflects the amendment. The amount and activity dates from the original SAR are retained.

When the SAR Chain Features Are On

If the SAR V2 Chain and SAR Chain Summary & Next Steps features are turned on for your organization, you can correct or amend a SAR from its status page without a case:

  1. Open the status page of the Acknowledged or Acknowledged with Errors SAR.

  2. In Next steps, select Amend or correct this SAR, then Start amendment.

      

Differences from the steps above:

  • No case is created or changed, and the original case is not set to Amending.

  • A SAR can be amended more than once. You can also amend an earlier SAR in the chain.

  • If another SAR in the chain is already being amended, a warning appears. Select Start amendment to continue, or Cancel.

  • A SAR that has already been corrected cannot be amended again. Amend the correction instead.

  • Once the correction is submitted, the original SAR is marked Superseded. See What does it mean when a SAR is superseded?

Expected Result

A new SAR is created with the type Amended SAR, linked to the original BSA ID. The SAR appears on the global SAR page with its updated status and title.
