## 4 List of Reference Cases of Suspicious Transactions

Specified business operators are expected to decide whether the concerned transaction is a suspicious transaction with their own knowledge and experience at their industries, taking into account the form of transaction, client attributes, conditions surrounding the transaction and other factors. It may well be the case, however, that some operators simply lack adequate understanding of money laundering and find it difficult to make an appropriate judgment. Therefore, in Japan, competent administrative authorities have announced "reference cases of suspicious transactions," based on the characteristics of respective specified business operators. These reference cases are however just samples of suspicious transactions and are intended merely for reference.

This means, it is necessary for the specified business operators to judge whether an individual case is a suspicious transaction, taking into account the client's attributes, conditions surrounding the transaction and other specifics of the transaction. All the transactions that appear to match the listed samples do not necessarily have to be reported as suspicious, while transactions that do not fall within any of them may still be suspicious and subject to reporting.

## 5 Analysis of Bank Account Used for Crime

JAFIC has carried out operations to statistically abstract the characteristics of bank accounts used for crime in cooperation with the Prefectural Police etc. in order to make use of it in arranging and analyzing information regarding STRs, and as part of information provision from NPSC to the specified business operators that is regulated in Article 3 of the Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds.

## 6 Information Security Measures

Since STRs include sensitive information on individuals and business activities, JAFIC carries out due information security measures to prevent leakage, loss, damage, or other misconduct. The handling of relevant information is set forth in the regulations of NPSC. In particular, since a large amount of information is stored in the database system which manages suspicious transactions, sufficient security measures need to be taken. Various security measures put in place at JAFIC are as follows.

## (1) Management of Entering and Exiting

Terminals that can access information stored in the JAFIC database are located in a room with doors that are controlled by a biometric authentication system. Only a limited number of staff members are permitted to enter the room.

## (2) Three Steps of Authentication

In order to access the information in the JAFIC database, three levels of authentication are required. In other words, information can be reached only after authentication is carried out 3 times, in 3 different ways. During the authentication procedure, if more than one mistake occurs, access to the terminal is denied to prevent unauthorized use.
