Financial Institutions Outreach Initiative: Report on Outreach to Large Depository Institutions

摘要

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is engaged in a variety of initiatives to ensure that our mission as administrator of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) is carried out in the most efficient and effective manner possible. This outreach will also assist in FinCEN's ongoing work with the financial industry as financial institutions strive to comply with their responsibility to report certain financial information and suspicious activities to FinCEN, as well as our responsibility to ensure this useful information is made available to law enforcement, as appropriate. In furtherance of these goals, FinCEN initiated an outreach effort in 2008 with representatives from a variety of industries that fall under BSA regulatory requirements, beginning with large depository institutions. The purpose of this report is to share information FinCEN gathered over the past year as part of its outreach initiative to large depository institutions.
