Technical Amendments to Rule 17a-8: Financial Recordkeeping and Reporting of Currency and Foreign Transactions

Краткое содержание

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") is adopting technical amendments to Rule 17a-8 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") to update a reference within the rule to the implementing regulations of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended (commonly referred to as the Bank Secrecy Act or the "BSA"). The BSA's implementing regulations are promulgated and administered by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN"), a bureau within the Department of the Treasury. The reference to the BSA's implementing regulations in Rule 17a-8 is being updated in response to FinCEN's reorganization of those regulations into a new chapter of the Code of Federal Regulations ("CFR").
