Amendment to the Bank Secrecy Act Regulations-Requirement That Clerks of Court Report Certain Currency Transactions

概要

FinCEN is amending the rules relating to the reporting of certain currency transactions consistent with a recent statutory amendment authorizing FinCEN to require clerks of court to file such reports with the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Such information already is required to be reported by clerks of court pursuant to regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), but FinCEN heretofore has been limited in its ability to access and share further that information because of minor differences between the relevant statutory authorities applicable to FinCEN and the IRS.
