CTR Yes - SAR No

Answered by: 

Question: 
Can we show a customer a copy of a CTR report for that customer's transaction? I recall seeing this same question in your Q and A section but couldn't find it again.
Answer: 

Yes. If requested, you may show the customer a copy of the CTR report. There is a division of opinion, however, on whether you can supply them with a copy of it. IRS gave us two different answers on the copy question. It might be prudent to explain that it is a government form,and therefore it is not your privilege to supply a copy.

Whole different ballgame on the SAR. Definitely NOT to be seen by the customer. The customer should not even be aware of the SAR's existence.
