Cannabis transactions can appear routine, but hidden red flags often signal elevated risks. This session provides BSA Officers with practical guidance on identifying, escalating, and documenting suspicious activity specific to cannabis-related accounts.
Participants will learn how to distinguish between ordinary high-volume cash activity and transactions that raise red flags under regulatory expectations. The webinar will highlight real-world examples of cannabis-specific suspicious activity, showing how subtle patterns—such as inconsistent deposits, unusual payment flows, or mismatched sales data—can indicate deeper compliance issues. Attendees will also gain strategies for aligning monitoring systems with FinCEN guidance, tailoring alerts to the cannabis sector, and ensuring that documentation and escalation practices withstand examiner scrutiny.
We’ll cover transaction patterns, structuring attempts, and indicators of diversion or fraud that are unique to the cannabis industry.
