Financial Enforcement
United States Department of Treasury began providing
technical assistance in the area of financial enforcement in
1997 in response to a concern that financial crime,
corruption, and organized criminal enterprises, in conjunction
with other criminal activities, were undermining economic
reforms promoted by the U. S. Government.
Treasury’s Financial Enforcement Program provides
assistance to countries in the development of legal
foundations, policies, and anti-corruption entities to address
these problems. The work is conducted in three core areas:
- Combatting money laundering, terrorist financing and
other financial crimes;
- Confronting organized crime and corruption; and
- Reorganizing law enforcement and financial entities in
developing economies to help them prevent, detect,
investigate, and prosecute complex international financial
crimes.
The Financial Enforcement Program is staffed by experienced
advisors with backgrounds in various areas enforcement,
including the investigation, prosecution and regulation of:
- Money laundering;
- Terrorist financing
- White-collar crime;
- Organized crime;
- Securities fraud;
- Internal affairs and corruption;
- Criminal law; and
- Organizational administration.
