It is said to offer guidance, as well as addressing any misconceptions. It also includes common transaction monitoring related findings and observations noted during the enforcement and follow-up processes, as well as any key takeaways that emerged. It says that, obviously, a transaction, or pattern of transactions, that falls outside expectations should serve as a red flag or trigger event.
