ACAMS CAMS (Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (the 6th edition)) Practice Test 80

Question 790

Independent assurance must evaluate an issue originally found as follows: Investigators copy public social-media information into cases without recording where or when they collected it. What validation would most directly test effectiveness?

  1. Sample OSINT assertions for verifiable sources and dated captures
  2. Test benign shared-IP clusters for false positive network formation
  3. Replay split-payment datasets and evaluate linked alert generation
  4. Seed mule networks and measure connected-component detection accuracy
  5. Run above-the-line and below-the-line tests for missed cases
  6. Back-test model versions and check drift plus approval evidence

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The test distinguishes investigative evidence from unsupported summaries. This test provides observable evidence about the affected process; a test focused on a graph model flags every customer sharing a common public IP address as a criminal network would not establish the same result.

Question 791

An institution has corrected a process after discovering this case: A new customer is a PEP whose funds arrive from a closely held firm with undisclosed controllers. Which test best proves the relevant safeguard operates?

  1. Test ownership events against refresh completion and risk rerating
  2. Seed new-PEP events and inspect alerts plus escalation records
  3. Audit introduced relationships for required owner information and verification
  4. Audit vendor changes to screening logic and independent approvals
  5. Sample PEP accounts for ownership verification and approval evidence
  6. Sample sensitive exits for legal review and approved timing

Explanation

Correct Answer

The sample would be probative if a bank closes an account under investigation without considering an authorized law-enforcement…; a different population and test are needed for a new customer is a PEP whose funds arrive from a closely held firm with undisclosed controllers.

Question 792

For this identified exposure, an institution introduces an exit-control process that deletes customers before outstanding investigations are resolved. Choose TWO complementary steps: one targeted safeguard and one test of its operation.

  1. Require controlled exits with investigation and records checks
  2. Test exit cases for case-status checks and retention preservation
  3. Review ownership events, adverse intelligence, and refresh trigger records
  4. Configure tested fuzzy and alias-aware screening rules
  5. Test changed identifiers and new designations against cleared records
  6. Simulate missed feed updates and verify operational escalation

Explanation

Question 793

For this identified exposure, a virtual-asset exchange receives coins from a mixer shortly before conversion into fiat and international withdrawal. Choose TWO complementary steps: one targeted safeguard and one test of its operation.

  1. Retest shared-director clusters against ownership-linking controls
  2. Apply blockchain analytics and source-of-funds review for high-risk deposits
  3. Check detection of mixer-linked chains and analyst follow-up quality

Question 794

For this identified exposure, a policy requires EDD for foreign PEPs but staff cannot find the corresponding review steps. Choose TWO complementary steps: one targeted safeguard and one test of its operation.

  1. Review meeting minutes, challenge records, and subsequent account actions
  2. Trace reported metrics back to case management and source systems
  3. Walk through PEP cases to verify staff can follow documented steps
  4. Issue implementable procedures linked to the PEP policy and standards
  5. Require legal and AFC approval of external policy changes
  6. Audit regulatory alerts through implementation and staff communication

Question 796

A firm wants measurable assurance for this identified exposure: An e-KYC provider verifies an image of an identity document but never validates its issuer or authenticity. Which evaluation should be conducted?

  1. Challenge the flow with altered documents and independent issuer checks
  2. Measure verified fraud capture and abandonment across risk tiers
  3. Compare fraud outcomes and failure rates before and after step-up triggers
  4. Test material ownership changes against enrichment refresh timestamps

Question 797

A financial-crime team must corroborate the concern, implement a specific safeguard, and verify that safeguard after this event: A board approves restricted correspondent banking but sales continues to onboard nested-payment intermediaries. Choose THREE steps that satisfy those three different needs.

  1. Trace regulatory publications to policy change and impact assessments
  2. Review material resolutions for quorum, action owners, and closure
  3. Sample new correspondent relationships for policy-aligned approval
  4. Compare onboarded correspondent services with board-approved boundaries
  5. Require legal and AFC approval of external policy changes
  6. Install appetite-based acceptance rules and exception governance

Explanation

Correct Answers

C:

Testing confirms that stated restrictions influence actual onboarding outcomes. It produces control-performance evidence about a board approves restricted correspondent banking but sales continues to onboard nested-payment intermediaries; a documented plan alone would not prove operation.

D:

The review pinpoints deals approved outside intended risk tolerances. It supplies corroborating evidence about a board approves restricted correspondent banking but sales continues to onboard nested-payment intermediaries; investigation is distinct from implementing or testing a safeguard.

F:

Frontline teams need decision checks linked to the board's risk parameters. It addresses the live exposure in a board approves restricted correspondent banking but sales continues to onboard nested-payment intermediaries; corrective action is not a substitute for verifying its operation.

  3. Sample retained high-risk clients for condition compliance and escalation
  4. Sample filed reports for coherent subject, flow, and suspicion descriptions

Question 799

A remediation is marked complete for this case: Banks and investigators create a public-private forum but share raw customer data without a permitted legal basis. Which operational test would best challenge that claim?

  1. Audit forum disclosures for approvals, necessity, and permissible scope

Question 800

A remediation is marked complete for this case: Different businesses label the same beneficial-owner field as shareholder, controller, or principal without common definitions. Which operational test would best challenge that claim?
