Financial Crimes Enforcement Network September 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

FinCEN is proposing to require electronic filing of certain Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) reports not later than June 30, 2012. This requirement will significantly enhance the quality of our electronic data, improve our analytic capabilities in supporting law enforcement requirements and result in significant reduction in real costs to the United States Government and ultimately to U.S. taxpayers. Specifically, we propose mandatory electronic submission of all BSA reports excluding the Report of International Transportation of Currency or Monetary Instruments (CMIR).\1\
