Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury that helps combat financial crimes like money laundering and terrorism financing. It collects and analyzes financial information to identify suspicious activities, working with law enforcement and other agencies to protect the financial system. By enforcing regulations and supporting investigations, FinCEN aims to prevent illegal activities that can harm the economy and national security. Its role is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the country's financial institutions and ensuring compliance with anti-money laundering laws.
