Anti-money-laundering and customer-due-diligence obligations, regulated activities, and the official financial regulator.

- FinCEN sets BSA/AML program, recordkeeping, and Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) requirements for regulated entities.
- OFAC administers economic and trade sanctions that AML/KYC screening must account for.
