FinCEN Proposes Reforming AML/CFT Programs. FinCEN has issued a proposed rule to “fundamentally reform” financial institutions’ anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) programs. The proposal is designed to modernize the AML/CFT framework and encourage institutions to focus resources on higher-risk areas rather than technical compliance. Among other changes, the proposal would, for the first time, require federal banking regulators to consult with FinCEN before taking AML/CFT-related supervisory or enforcement actions. Read the announcement, proposed rule, fact sheet, and key changes.
