Join the FACT Coalition in Washington on Nov. 2nd at 1pm EST for the 2015 launch of the Financial Secrecy Index and find out where the U.S. ranks among the world’s biggest tax havens.
The FACT Coalition submitted the attached comment to the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network in October 2014 regarding FinCEN’s notice of proposed rule making for customer due diligence procedures for financial institutions.
In January, FACT, TI-US, and GFI held a press briefing detailing the Coalition’s main policy areas to watch in 2024, including imminent actions by Treasury addressing money laundering risks through U.S. real estate and private investment markets, as well as new work at the intersection of environmental and financial crime.
Read FACT’s statement for the record outlining the urgent need for additional funding and support for the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the Bureau of Treasury tasked with implementing the landmark Corporate Transparency Act.
Today, Elizabeth Rosenberg, Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and Andrew Adams, Director of the Task Force KleptoCapture at the Department of Justice, testified before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs on steps the Administration is taking in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The FACT Coalition sent a letter today to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) urging the agency to act quickly to implement the secure directory of beneficial owners of U.S. entities under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) and, in doing so, to adopt a set of internationally recognized best data practices.
