This investment directly supports FinCENs goal of efficient management, safeguarding, and use of BSA information, consistent with its mandate to manage the government-wide IT systems for BSA data. It also supports Treasurys overall strategic goal to prevent terrorism and promote the nations security through strengthened internal financial systems, and efforts of financial regulators to improve the safety and soundness of the financial system. FinCEN is the administrator of the Bank Secrecy Act, which allows stakeholders to combine this financial intelligence information with other information sources to address issues related to effectively managing the governments finances can also be used for issues related to securing economic and financial stability, such as detecting mortgage fraud, or instances of insider abuse or market manipulation. BSA data can also be used for issues related to securing economic and financial stability, such as detecting mortgage fraud, or instances of insider abuse or market manipulation. FinCEN faces the challenge of how to enable easier compliance and streamline BSA information capture for FinCENs financial community stakeholders while maximizing the value and impact of BSA information for its regulator, law enforcement and intelligence community stakeholders. The BSA IT Modernization investment is targeted to address these challenges. This program will establish an enterprise-wide information management and analysis framework that will equip law enforcement and financial industry regulators with better decision-making abilities and increased value of BSA information through enhanced data integrity and analytical tools. This will allow law enforcement and regulators to focus their limited resources on the areas of shifting illicit criminal activities and vulnerabilities effecting the soundness and stability of the U.S. financial system. This investment will also enable easier compliance and streamline BSA information capture for FinCENs financial community through the enhancement of e-filing systems for filers, standardization of financial data with existing financial community standards, and more timely and useful feedback on BSA information filings and the use of BSA information.
