Financial institutions (FIs) use a variety of preventive and detective controls to identify suspicious money laundering activities, but the two most common operational controls are:

✅ A. Sanctions screening
This is used to check whether a customer or transaction involves a sanctioned individual, entity, or country.

Helps prevent processing of transactions that could involve blocked persons or restricted jurisdictions, which are key red flags for ML/TF.

✅ E. Transaction monitoring rules
These are automated systems with pre-set scenarios or thresholds to detect unusual or suspicious transaction patterns.

Examples: structuring/smurfing, rapid movement of funds, sudden large cash deposits, or round-dollar wire transfers.
