Establishing a Kiting Pattern

Answered by: 

Question: 
It is my understanding that a ninety day review is required to establish a true kiting pattern. Is this a BSA or industry requirement?
Answer: 

It's not a requirement at all. It's a suggestion that you'll need to review at least three month's activity to confirm the existence of a kite and have a good idea of the transaction patterns involved. However, if you suspect a kite in process based on recent transaction history, you shouldn't wait until three months' activity has piled up before taking decisive action to protect your bank from loss.
