The U.S. Treasury Department on Wednesday issued a wide-ranging set of national anti-money-laundering priorities, naming corruption and cybercrime among the areas where financial institutions should focus their compliance resources.
The list is the first created by the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, following a major overhaul of U.S. anti-money-laundering laws in January. Legislation passed by Congress required FinCEN to develop a national strategy for countering money laundering and terrorism financing and to issue a list of priorities every four years.
