Office of Foreign Asset Control

Overview

The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) requires financial institutions, including broker-dealers, to establish an anti-money laundering (AML) program. One of the agencies in charge of enforcing the BSA is the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), an arm of the U.S. Department of Treasury.
