One of the tools provided under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) as a way of monitoring suspicious activities that would not ordinarily be flagged under other reports (such as the currency transaction report.) Suspicious activity reports can cover almost any activity that is out of the ordinary, if that activity gives rise to a suspicion that the account holder is attempting to hide something or avoid reporting under the BSA.
