    An analyst reviews an alert for high volume Automated Clearing House (ACH) activity in an account. The analyst's initial research finds the account is for a commercial daycare account that receives high volumes of large government-funded ACH transactions to support the programs. The account activity consists of checks (cheques) made payable to individual names in varying dollar amounts. One check indicates rent to another business.
    An Internet search finds that the daycare company owner has previous government-issued violations for safety and classroom size needs, such as not having enough chairs and tables per enrollee. These violations were issued to a different daycare name.
    Simultaneous to this investigation, another analyst sends an email about negative news articles referencing local child/adult daycare companies misusing governmental grants. This prompts the financial institution (Fl) to search all businesses for names containing daycare' or "care*. Text searches return a number of facilities as customers at the Fl and detects that three of these businesses have a similar transaction flow of high volume government ACH funding with little to no daycare expenses.
    During the investigation, new suspicious patterns and trends related to check cashing are observed. The Fl decides to conduct a training to ensure that 1) the AML program is robust and 2) the training program is relevant and appropriate. Which parties should be trained on emerging trends and red flags? (Select Two.)

    The client's ultimate beneficial ownership claim cannot be validated, and the loan is denied.
    Two months later, the Fl receives a law enforcement (LE) request on one of the client's business accounts.
    While reviewing the business account, the Fl receives another LE request on the same account from another agency. The requested information is shared.
    Three months later, a branch manager receives a request to open a business deposit account related to a complex trust. The manager forwarded the request because of the complexity. The trust was the same as the previously examined trust, but the request came from a different client. The second client also has many accounts with the Fl. Further inspection finds links between the second client and the Paradise Papers. The Papers state the client led illegal activities and committed tax evasion.
