    "Conducting Rapido Facil Exchange Co.'s independent review of the AML/CFT program",
    "Halting a transaction suspected of involving money laundering pending investigation",
    "Delivering annual AML training to all applicable personnel",
    "Serving as the primary contact during a regulatory examination"
  ],
  "correct_answer": "Conducting Rapido Facil Exchange Co.'s independent review of the AML/CFT program",
  "correct_response": "The BSA/AML Compliance Officer administers the AML/CFT program and therefore cannot conduct its independent review. That function must be performed by a qualified external reviewer or an internal party with no operational compliance responsibilities.",
  "incorrect_response": "The BSA/AML Compliance Officer cannot conduct Rapido Facil Exchange Co.'s independent review of the AML/CFT program — that would mean evaluating your own work. A qualified external reviewer or an internal person with no compliance responsibilities must perform that function. All other options listed are within your authority.",

      ],
      "correct_answer": "At least quarterly",
      "correct_response": "You must provide compliance status updates to the owner or principal at least quarterly. Material compliance incidents also require immediate reporting — these are separate obligations, and the quarterly update is the minimum baseline.",
      "incorrect_response": "Compliance status updates must go to the owner or principal at least quarterly. In addition, material incidents must be reported immediately when they occur — that immediate reporting is a separate requirement, not a substitute for the quarterly update.",

      "correct_response": "Both screenings must be completed before any offer is extended: a criminal background check covering at least seven years and a screen against the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list. These apply to every applicant, not just those handling cash.",
      "incorrect_response": "Pre-hire screening requires both a criminal background check (at least seven years) and an OFAC SDN screen — for every applicant, before any offer is made. A five-year check does not satisfy the requirement, a credit report is not a substitute, and the screenings apply to all positions, not only cash-handling roles.",
