“When an institution fails to uphold its compliance obligations, this creates a vulnerability – a crack in the foundation upon which our defenses against criminal abuse are built. Hence in any regulatory framework, but certainly in the AML/CFT area, it is essential that compliance expectations be backed by a credible enforcement mechanism, which in FinCEN’s case means the imposition of civil money penalties”.
