CRO & FINTRAC Compliance Workflow

A structured path from system alerts to CRO decision, authorized FINTRAC submission records, and audit-ready evidence — for Canadian MSBs, crypto/digital exchanges, and fintechs or PSPs where dual-obligated. FINTRAC case operations run today; Bank of Canada retail payments supervision (RPAA) and evolving Canadian stablecoin / digital-asset policy expectations sit in the same umbrella. Your organization remains the Reporting Entity; counsel owns filings.

Settlement boundary

TrustField does not itself provide custody or settlement services. Applicable custody and settlement activities remain with the customer’s designated providers.

  • Less manual re-entry

    Case fields, attachments, and status move with the workflow instead of copy-paste across tools.

  • Faster human decisions

    Analysts and the CRO see a complete case packet before FILE / NO-FILE / RETURN / ESCALATE.

  • Audit-ready evidence

    Evidence stays traceable, versioned, and auditable for examiner and internal review.

  • Consistent reporting packages

    Draft or submit-ready STR packages follow the same required-field and review gates every time.

  • Clear accountability

    Ownership, decision records, and submission status stay attributed to named roles.

  • Missing-data checklist

Information requests

  • Internal ops follow-ups
  • Customer clarification when required
  • Conflict / incompleteness flags

CRO Review & Decision

Human gate before any filing path

CRO review checklist

  • Completeness of facts and parties
  • Suspicion rationale documented
  • Exceptions and gaps noted
  • Recommended next path prepared

Decision record

  • Decision timestamp and actor
  • Rationale captured
  • Downstream path selected
  • Evidence locked to this decision version

Decision options

FILE STR

Proceed to prepare and authorize an STR package.

NO-FILE

Close with documented rationale — no report filed.

RETURN FOR MORE INFO

Send back to investigation with clear gaps to close.

ESCALATE

Elevate to a higher authority or specialist path.

Four decision outcomes — always a named human decision.

FINTRAC Reporting & Submission

Prepare the package; authorized officers submit

Prepare

  • Draft STR package
  • Required-field validation
  • Supporting exhibits linked

Verify

  • Second-person or dual control as configured
  • Schema / completeness checks

Authorized submission record

  • Officer-authorized submit action
  • Confirmation / reference captured
  • Sample workflows do not auto-file to FINTRAC

Post-submission

  • Status tracking
  • Correction / remediation path
  • Confirmation artifacts retained

Your organization remains the Reporting Entity. TrustField does not file on your behalf.

Evidence & Records

Traceable, versioned, auditable retention

Evidence package

  • Case packet export
  • Decision and submission artifacts
  • Attachments index

Audit trail

  • Who changed what, when
  • Versioned case history
  • Exportable examiner pack

Retention

  • Configured retention window
  • Access-controlled storage
  • Retrieval for audits

Evidence is traceable, versioned, and auditable — not blockchain-immutable; not a ledger marketing claim.

Real outcomes

What operators get when the workflow is live — without unverified percentage claims.

  • Faster decisions

    CRO review starts from a complete, ordered case packet.

  • Stronger compliance posture

    Consistent gates for investigation, decision, and reporting packages.

  • Audit ready

    Traceable, versioned, auditable evidence for exams and internal QA.

  • Lower operational risk

    Missing data and exception paths are handled before submission records.

  • Operational efficiency

    Less tool-switching and re-keying across alert → decision → evidence.

Platform capabilities

  • Role-based access
  • Automation & rules
  • Integration ready
  • Secure & compliant
  • Dashboards & KPIs
  • Scalable

Interactive sample

Try the sample case

Run the CRO → FINTRAC STR sample here — human FILE / NO-FILE / RETURN / ESCALATE decisions, draft packages, no auto-file.

default

Try the sample case

Synthetic data only — editable in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or filed.

Probable manual path today

Alert → export transaction data → search CRM/KYC/wallet tools → write rationale in Word or a case note → email CRO → re-enter structured fields in FINTRAC → save reports, versions, and evidence separately.

Configured TrustField workflow

Alert → one case → information and gaps assembled → human CRO decision → report fields and narrative prepared → authorized submission recorded → correction and evidence controlled.

1. CRO / Compliance Review

Collect the case, resolve missing information, organize facts and indicators, record the human decision and action.

2. FINTRAC Reporting

Prepare the structured report and narrative, verify fields, record authorized submission, corrections, and evidence.

Try the sample case

Edit only synthetic or anonymized values. Changes remain in this browser and are not uploaded.

Do not enter names, account numbers, wallet addresses, transaction hashes, ID documents, FINTRAC references, or other personal/protected information into a demo link.

After an alert, teams still rebuild the STR narrative and structured fields by hand before an authorized person can act.

STR report package

No report package has been created

A structured STR package appears only after the CRO selects FILE STR.

Verification and evidence

Traceable, versioned, auditable sample events — not blockchain or immutable claims.

Agent Execution Assurance

Your engineers review the workflow before it goes live

The agent builds the workflow and hands you the specification as a file. Your engineering and compliance teams read it, mark it up, and sign it off. Nothing touches a production system, a customer record, or a regulator until they do.

  1. Step 1

    The agent generates it

    Stages, field mappings, validation rules, decision gates, and evidence events are produced from your scenario.

  2. Step 2

    You take the file

    Download the full specification as JSON. It is inert: reading it, storing it, and diffing it changes nothing.

  3. Step 3

    Your team approves it

    Your named reviewer records a decision in the signoff block and returns the file. Only then does TrustField configure it.

Who is reviewing it?

Optional. The download works without any of this.

Fill this in and the file is made out to your organization, with your reviewer named in the signoff block, so it arrives ready to circulate internally.

Status in the file: inactive. It cannot activate itself.

What your reviewers should check
  • Every source system listed, and whether the stated role for each is correct
  • Field mappings against your own field names and formats
  • Validation rules against your internal policy, not just the regulatory minimum
  • Whether each human decision gate sits with the role that actually holds that authority
  • Whether the evidence events satisfy your retention and audit requirements
  • Whether the boundaries match what your compliance function expects of an automated system

The file states what the system does and what it will not do, including that it does not make the filing decision and does not submit to a regulator without an authorized officer of your organization.

Boundaries

TrustField may collect and map data, route tasks, draft forms, validate fields, prepare packages, and preserve evidence. It does not make the legal filing decision, determine regulatory applicability, provide legal advice, guarantee compliance, or auto-submit in this public sample.

Prefer a dedicated page? Open /workflows/cro-fintrac-str

TrustField support covers the operation, monitoring, recovery, configuration, and evidence functions of the agreed workflow. It does not provide legal advice, determine whether a report must be filed, or autonomously submit reports to FINTRAC.

Bank of Canada retail payments supervision (RPAA) and evolving Canadian stablecoin / digital-asset policy expectations shape the same operator umbrella as FINTRAC MSB and exchange case work. TrustField structures workflows and evidence; it does not auto-file, and it does not replace counsel or your CAMLO on filings or regulatory strategy.
