The operative statutes and authorities: the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. ยงยง 5311โ5332) as expanded by the USA PATRIOT Act (2001), which added enhanced due diligence requirements, information-sharing provisions (Sections 314(a) and 314(b)), and the written AML program requirement. FinCEN, a bureau of the U.S. Treasury, administers the BSA, issues implementing rules (31 CFR Chapter X), and collects CTRs and SARs.
