What must a custodian do when transporting funds greater than $7,500 but less than $25,000?

When transporting funds greater than $7,500 but less than $25,000, the custodian must adhere to specific protocols for security and accountability. The correct course of action typically requires the custodian to notify the Emergency Control Center (ECC) and to arrange for an escort during the transport. This procedure is put in place to ensure the safety of the funds and to mitigate risks associated with theft or loss during transport.

Transporting without notifying the ECC and without an escort would not meet the necessary security standards and regulations. The ECC plays a critical role in monitoring such activities, ensuring that all movements of funds are accounted for and that adequate measures are taken to protect those funds throughout the transport process. Therefore, it's vital for custodians to follow the requirement of informing the ECC and having the necessary protective measures in place, which include having an escort during the movement of larger amounts of money.
