The BSA is the nation’s first and most comprehensive Federal anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing statute. Pursuant to the BSA, FinCEN, among other things develops anti-money laundering regulations and policies and enforces compliance with the BSA and its implementing regulations.
FinCEN’s Research and Analysis Division produces proactive, multi-source financial intelligence and analysis in support of a variety of internal and external stakeholders. By leveraging BSA data and a variety of other data sources, FinCEN analysts can illuminate key nodes within illicit financial networks. FinCEN analysts also work directly with U.S. law enforcement stakeholders to provide real-time operational support through the tactical use of BSA data.
