Informed Policies to Combat Money Laundering

Abstract

The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is tasked with establishing, overseeing, and implementing laws to prevent and detect money laundering. With its limited resources, FinCEN is dwarfed by the magnitude and dynamic complexity of the problem. Therefore, to be effective, it must help others place their time, effort, and money where they have the largest impact. FinCEN is best able to help others combat money laundering by emphasizing its role as a provider of strategic intelligence and analysis.
