Explanation

According to the CAMS Study Guide (the 6th edition), page 184, when an FI receives a formal law enforcement request to produce documents, such as a subpoena, a search warrant, or a court order, it should designate a person responsible for the internal investigation in preparation of documents for the request. This person should be familiar with the FI's policies and procedures, the applicable laws and regulations, and the nature and scope of the request. The designated person should also coordinate with the FI's legal counsel, compliance officer, and senior management, and ensure that the FI preserves the confidentiality and integrity of the documents and the investigation.
