Headed by an Under Secretary, the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI) marshals the Treasury Department's policy, enforcement, regulatory, and intelligence functions to sever the lines of financial support to international terrorists, WMD proliferators, narcotics traffickers, money launderers, and other threats to our national security.

Two components of TFI are led by Assistant Secretaries. The Office of Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes (TFFC), is the policy and outreach apparatus for TFI.  The Office of Intelligence and Analysis (OIA) is responsible for TFI's intelligence functions, integrating the Treasury Department into the larger intelligence community (IC), and providing support to both Treasury leadership and the IC.

TFI also oversees several component offices and bureaus. Responsible for administering the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and other regulatory functions is the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions. The Treasury Executive Office of Asset Forfeiture (TEOAF) administers the Treasury Forfeiture Fund (TFF), which is the receipt account for the deposit of non-tax forfeitures. TFI also works in close partnership with the IRS Criminal Investigative Division (IRS-CI) to enforce laws against terrorist financing and money laundering, including the Bank Secrecy Act.
