Explanation

When a high volume of incoming wire transfers generates an alert about a client and the funds are immediately debited by cash withdrawals and outgoing wire transfers, the first information that should be reviewed to investigate this alert/case is the customer's account activity. This is because the account activity can reveal the origin, destination, purpose, frequency, and amount of the wire transfers, as well as any unusual or inconsistent patterns that may indicate money laundering or fraud. The account activity can also help to compare the wire transfers with the customer's profile, risk rating, expected behavior, and source of funds. Reviewing the account activity can help to determine if the alert is a false positive or a true positive, and if further investigation or reporting is required.
