Prerequisites
-
The SAR V2 Chain and SAR Chain Summary & Next Steps features must be turned on for your organization. Both are off by default.
This article covers:
-
When a SAR becomes superseded
-
What you see on a superseded SAR
-
What you can and cannot do with it
-
What you see on later SARs in the chain
When a SAR Is Superseded
A SAR is superseded once a correction to it has been submitted. The original stays on record with the values it was filed with, and the correction becomes the SAR to work from. A correction that is still a draft, or that FinCEN rejected, does not supersede it.
What You See
On a superseded SAR:
-
A Superseded badge in the header links to the SAR that corrects it.
-
A banner reads: This SAR has been corrected. It names the correction, its SAR number, and whether it was acknowledged, submitted or queued for submission, with the date. The banner ends: The values below are as originally filed.
-
In the SAR Chain Summary timeline, the SAR number is struck through and the card is tagged Superseded.
What You Can Do
-
Review the original. It keeps its filed amounts, dates and narrative.
-
Go to the correction. In the Next steps panel, the Go to the latest valid SAR card opens it, so you can create a continuing activity case or amend from there.
You cannot create a continuing activity case from a superseded SAR. The card shows ⊘ This SAR is linked to a correction, followed by the correction's label and SAR number. Continue from the latest valid SAR instead. You also cannot amend a SAR that has already been corrected and acknowledged. Amend the correction instead.
Later SARs in the Chain
A SAR filed before a correction was made shows a notice: An earlier SAR in this chain was corrected after this SAR was filed. This SAR keeps the values it was filed with. Its timeline tag is Earlier SAR amended.
What This Does Not Do
-
It does not change the original SAR. The corrected values live on the new SAR only.
-
It does not delete or hide the original. It stays in the chain.
