The 2007 Strategy addresses the priority threats and vulnerabilities identified by the Money Laundering Threat Assessment released in 2006.
U .S. Money Laundering Threat Assessment (MLTA)
On January 11, 2006, the Treasury Department and its partner agencies announced the release of the U.S. Money Laundering Threat Assessment (MLTA). The MLTA is the first government-wide analysis of money laundering trends and vulnerabilities in the United States. Its purpose is to inform the law enforcement community, policy makers, and regulators in their efforts to combat money laundering strategically. MLTA Fact Sheet
The 2003 National Money Laundering Strategy continues to expand
the framework for identifying, disrupting, and dismantling global
terrorist financing and money laundering operations. The Strategy
emphasizes the ongoing need for cooperation between the intelligence
and law enforcement communities to achieve the common goal of
closing off the financial conduits that threaten National Security.
Ensuring effective regulation to protect the international financial
system remains the paramount objective of the Strategy. The
2003 Strategy also highlights recent achievements in the fight
to stop the money as well as addressing evolving methods of
terrorist financing.
The 2002 National Money Laundering Strategy is a blueprint for
how the government will address critical issues surrounding
the enforcement of financial crimes. The 2002 Strategy breaks
important new ground, and describes, for the first time, a coordinated,
government-wide strategy to combat terrorist financing. The
Strategy also provides baseline facts and figures that can help
determine how well the Federal government is succeeding in its
efforts to detect, prevent, and deter money laundering – a major
goal of Secretary O’Neill. The 2002 Strategy reports on the
progress that we have made to implement the goals and objectives
of the 2001 Strategy, and sets forth an ambitious agenda of
work for the remainder of 2002.
