From red flags to SARs: Real-world fraud scenarios AML teams are seeing now

AML and fraud teams are asking for one thing right now: real examples. Not theory, not generic red flags—but what suspicious activity actually looks like in today’s environment, how alerts are triggered, and when activity truly warrants escalation and SAR filing. 

This webinar is built around real-world fraud scenarios AML teams are seeing now, designed specifically for frontline analysts and investigators. Through practical case studies spanning multiple fraud types—including ACH activity, business email compromise, and elder financial exploitation—we’ll break down sample transaction patterns, what initially triggered alerts, and how teams made escalation and SAR decisions. 

The session balances depth with practicality, giving attendees concrete examples they can apply immediately without overwhelming them. We’ll also highlight current examiner hot priorities and what regulators expect to see when reviewing escalation decisions and SAR narratives tied to fraud-driven activity.
