The new director at the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) said the agency is working to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking regarding the establishment of an anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions whistleblower program.
Andrea Gacki, in virtual remarks delivered at an industry event Tuesday, said the program will allow FinCEN to pay out awards to individuals who voluntarily come forward with information on violations of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) or U.S. sanctions when that information leads to an enforcement action.
