Assets Forfeiture Fund and Seized Asset Deposit Fund Annual Financial Statement, Fiscal Year 2004

摘要

The primary mission of the Department of Justice (DOJ or the Department) Asset Forfeiture Program (AFP) is to maximize the effectiveness of forfeiture as a deterrent to crime. This is accomplished by means of depriving drug traffickers, racketeers, and other criminal syndicates of their ill-gotten proceeds and instrumentalities of their trade. Components responsible for administration and financial management of the AFP are charged with lawfully, effectively and efficiently supporting law enforcement authorities in the application of specified forfeiture statutes. The Assets Forfeiture Fund (AFF or Fund) and Seized Asset Deposit Fund (SADF) together comprise a single financial reporting entity of the DOJ, which includes the specified funds, property seized for forfeiture, and the transactions and program activities of DOJ forfeiture program components and other participating agencies as described more fully herein.
