Financial Crime

Financial crime threatens the safety and soundness of financial systems world-wide. In some cases, these crimes threaten the security and safety of the nation. These crimes range from fairly simple operations carried out by individuals or small groups to highly sophisticated rings seeking funding for criminal enterprises or terrorism. Although financial criminals are often well-organized and persistent, bankers and citizens can take proactive steps to thwart their attempts.
