Financial crime has a long tradition of financial crime

The drug wars in the 1960s and 1970s resulted in an increase in illicit and illicit incomes entering the US financial system, which is also funding more criminal activities, including opioid and human trafficking.

In 1970, the Banking Secrecy Act (BSA) was passed by Congress to improve anti-money laundering (AML) efforts and avoid criminal financing of criminal enterprises. Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the BSA was redesigned. The USA PATRIOT Act was introduced in Congress by the Congress. It cemented the critical role of BSA and AML specialists, as it was announced on October 26, 2001.

BSA and AML specialists work tirelessly around the clock to safeguard our financial system. Although financial laws changed and enforcement increased, the BSA Officer's role remained unchanged. Although banking rules changed and enforcement expanded, the BSA Officer's role remained unchanged. They are the first line of defense in the protection of our financial system from unlawful and terrorist attack. They have banned drug cartel funds from returning to their country of origin. Human traffickers are not allowed to finance their operations, according to BSA Officers. Their investigations uncover evidence that has barred terrorists from funding their programs. The BSA Officer's duties include interminably and monitoring it all.

This position also has ramifications. BSA employees face a lot of pressure and little tolerance for mistakes. Professionally held accountable for loosening BSA/AML services at their organizations in recent years. These characteristics, combined, reveal the importance of their position and importance to our national security.
