A. B. C. D.D
The Currency Transaction Report (CTR) is a report that must be filed with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) for any transaction involving currency (cash) that exceeds $10,000 in a single business day. The purpose of the CTR is to help prevent money laundering and other financial crimes.
Let's evaluate each transaction:
A. Deposit of checks totaling $12,000 to a checking account: This transaction does not require completion of FinCEN Form 104, a CTR, because it does not involve currency (cash). However, if the deposit was made in cash or a combination of cash and checks that exceeds $10,000 in a single business day, then a CTR must be filed.
B. Cash purchase of a cashier's check for $7,800: This transaction does not require completion of FinCEN Form 104, a CTR, because the amount involved is less than $10,000.
C. Cash withdrawal of $3,000 from a checking account: This transaction does not require completion of FinCEN Form 104, a CTR, because the amount involved is less than $10,000.
D. Cashing of a $14,000 check for a customer: This transaction requires completion of FinCEN Form 104, a CTR, because it involves currency (cash) and exceeds $10,000 in a single business day.
In summary, the only transaction that requires completion of FinCEN Form 104, a CTR, is option D, cashing of a $14,000 check for a customer.
