Which term designates the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network responsible for overseeing compliance?

FinCEN stands for the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the bureau within the U.S. Treasury charged with overseeing Bank Secrecy Act compliance. It sets regulatory expectations for financial institutions, collects and analyzes required reports (such as Currency Transaction Reports and Suspicious Activity Reports), and shares intelligence to help detect and deter money laundering and other financial crimes. The Bank Secrecy Act itself is the law that creates the framework for these requirements; the other items refer to specific provisions or programs (information sharing under the Patriot Act), not the agency that oversees compliance. So the term that designates the network responsible for overseeing compliance is FinCEN.
