data with a variety of self-regulatory
organizations and state regulatory
authorities that conduct anti-money
laundering examination activities for their
own purposes.
The Division's Office of Enforcement
addresses instances of non-compliance
with the Bank Secrecy Act by penalizing
egregious or systemic offenses, compelling
corrective action, and promoting future
compliance.
The Division also takes regulatory action
authorized under section 311 of the USA
PATRIOT Act of 2001 if the Secretary of
the Treasury finds reasonable grounds
for concluding that a financial institution,
jurisdiction, class of transaction, or type of
account is of primary money laundering
concern. Under this authority, we are
authorized to impose a range of special
measures that require U.S. financial
institutions to take a variety of remedial
actions, up to and including a prohibition
on the opening or maintenance of
correspondent or payable-through
accounts.
