Chief Counsel, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
< BACK
The Chief Counsel of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) supervises
attorneys and support staff. The Office of Chief Counsel provides legal advice
to FinCEN officials across the full range of their responsibilities.
FinCEN operates a multi-source intelligence and information service to support
investigations of money laundering and other financial crimes. It also administers
the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), the nation's primary civil counter-money laundering
statute, and provides policy support and technical resources for international
counter-money laundering efforts.
Members of the Office of Chief Counsel advise FinCEN on issues relating to
the terms and interpretation of the BSA, domestic and international aspects
of information law, inter-agency information-sharing, the use of information
in enforcement operations and proceedings, international law relating to counter-money
laundering efforts, and administrative law.
