What this video covers
- The bridge rule as a pointer to the Bank Secrecy Act, not a standalone list of records to create or keep
- How the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, better known as the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), connects to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) records-preservation rule through this bridge
- Why the longer retention period always controls when the preservation rule and the BSA overlap on the same record
- The single mechanical fact pattern the exam tests: calculating or identifying the longer of two given retention periods
- Why the bridge rule does not and cannot set suspicious activity report (SAR) thresholds, currency transaction report (CTR) thresholds, or any anti-money-laundering deadlines
- How to separate the recordkeeping bridge from the customer identification program and the know-your-customer duty, which are entirely separate topics
