Résumé

FinCEN, a bureau of the Department of the Treasury ("Treasury"), is issuing proposed rules defining certain housing government sponsored enterprises as financial institutions for the purpose of requiring them to establish anti-money laundering programs and report suspicious activities pursuant to the Bank Secrecy Act. The proposal to require these organizations to establish anti-money laundering programs and report suspicious activities is intended to help prevent fraud and other financial crimes.
