Exam CCAS Topic 1 Question 31 Discussion

Actual exam question for ACAMS's CCAS exam
Question #: 31
Topic #: 1

A compliance officer is conducting a customer risk review. Which statements represent the highest level of customer risk? (Select Two.)

A. A customer who uses a virtual private network (VPN) connection to access the customer's account B. A student customer depositing 15,000 USD over a period of a month, using the funds to purchase cryptoassets that are sent to another virtual asset service provider C. A business customer opting to pay suppliers in cryptoassets D. A customer receiving cryptoassets daily from another virtual asset service provider located in a foreign jurisdiction which are then sent to a private wallet E. A customer located in a foreign country donating 10,000 USD worth of cryptoassets to a charity for veterans in the US

Suggested Answer: B,D Vote an answer

When determining highest-risk customers under a risk-based approach, firms must consider transaction patterns, jurisdictions, counterparties, and destinations:
B: Large deposits by a student, rapidly converting to crypto and sending to another VASP, suggest potential layering and third-party funding risk.
D: Daily inbound transfers from a foreign VASP to a private (unhosted) wallet indicate consistent high-risk exposure - especially cross-border transactions involving unregulated or weakly regulated jurisdictions.
While VPN use (A) can be a red flag, on its own it is lower risk than significant suspicious fund flows. Paying suppliers in crypto (C) can be legitimate for businesses. A large donation to a charity (E) could be flagged depending on jurisdiction and cause, but is generally less inherently suspicious than B and D unless linked to high-risk entities.
FATF, DFSA, and FSRA AML rules stress that ongoing monitoring should identify these high-frequency, high-value, cross-border crypto flows as priority for Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) and possible Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs).
