[USA] Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2006 / Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, April 2007
http://www.fincen.gov/YEreport/AnnualReportFY2006.html#TOC
"The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) seeks to enhance US national security and to make the financial system increasingly resistant to abuse by money launderers, terrorists and their financial supporters, and other perpetrators of crime. In pursuit of these aims, FinCEN relies on the expertise of a small but growing staff—now just over 300 employees—as well as on a broad range of collaborative partnerships.
As the nation’s financial intelligence unit, FinCEN works closely with numerous federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies and regulators, as well as with members of our nation’s diverse financial sectors. We also play a global leadership role in the Egmont Group of financial intelligence units, collaborate with our counterparts in other countries, and support multi-national bodies seeking to promote global anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing measures."
