Webinar Registration for SARs & CTRs: Let’s Work Through It!

Webinar: September 23, 2026 | 2 p.m. ET | 1 p.m. CT  | 12 p.m. MT | 11 a.m. PT  

SARs and CTRs are essential to an effective BSA program—but knowing when to file, what to include, and how to get the details right can be challenging. And when reporting errors can lead to examiner criticism, there’s little room for guesswork. So, let’s roll up our sleeves and work through it together.  

Join ViClarity Compliance Specialists Farren Home-Lovell and Tyler Draffan for an interactive, scenario-based workshop designed to take BSA reporting out of the textbook and into the real world. Forget the typical “sit back and listen” webinar. You’ll work through realistic scenarios, test your knowledge, compare approaches, and discuss what examiners are looking for.
