Using the Filed On Date for SARs

Overview

We’ve introduced a new Filed On field for SARs in Green Check. This change ensures your SAR due dates always align with FinCEN guidance, specifically for continuing SARs, which are due 120 days after the last SAR is filed.

Previously, due dates were calculated from the monitoring end date, which could cause confusion. The Filed On field gives you direct control over the filing date that drives future deadlines.

Why This Matters

• Keeps your SAR deadlines in sync with FinCEN’s 120-day rule.

• Prevents false “late” SARs from appearing in your dashboard.

• Provides clearer audit history with an explicit filing date.

How It Works

Where to find the Filed On date

You can edit the Filed On date in two places:

• Exports tab – update the Filed On date for all SARs included in an export.

• Completed tab – update the Filed On date for an individual SAR.

Here is what the column will look like in the table:

And here is what the modal will look like when clicking to add a date from the table view:

When accessing from the Exports tab, you will also be able to edit the date within the Exports drawer:

How the due date logic works

• If Filed On is left blank → due date = Monitoring End Date + 30 days (current logic).

• If Filed On is populated → the next continuing SAR due date = Filed On + 120 days.

• If you update the Filed On date after the next SAR is already created, that SAR’s due date will automatically update while it remains open. 

Export vs. Individual Report Updates

• Updating Filed On from the Exports tab applies the same date to all reports in that export.
• The Exports tab will always display the Filed On date that was set at the export level.
• If you later update a Filed On date on an individual report from the Completed tab, that change will only appear on the Completed tab—it does not change the date shown in the Exports tab.

FAQs

Do I have to enter a Filed On date for every SAR?
No. If left blank, the system will continue to use monitoring end + 30 days.

What happens if I change a Filed On date after a SAR is already open?
The open SAR’s due date will update immediately to reflect the change.

What happens if I update an individual report’s Filed On date in the Completed tab, but not in the Exports tab?
The change will only apply to that specific report in the Completed tab. The Exports tab will continue showing the date that was originally applied at the export level.
