FinCEN Compliance & Enforcement

Regulatory Inquiries, Investigations, Enforcement & Remediation

Friling Law represents businesses and individuals in matters involving the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the federal regulatory framework governing anti-money laundering compliance.

We assist clients before an enforcement matter arises and after a potential compliance deficiency, regulatory inquiry, investigation, or information request has been identified.

Our services include:

• FinCEN regulatory compliance analysis
• Responses to regulatory inquiries and information requests
• FinCEN investigations and enforcement matters
• BSA/AML compliance deficiencies
• Civil money penalty matters
• Internal investigations preceding regulatory responses
• Analysis of potential reporting failures
• Corrective action and remediation plans
• Voluntary disclosure considerations
• Coordination of FinCEN, OFAC, DOJ, and other parallel regulatory issues

Where a matter involves both AML and sanctions concerns, Friling Law can develop an integrated strategy addressing the FinCEN and OFAC implications of the same transactions or conduct.

AML & Financial Crime

Anti-Money Laundering, Financial Crime Compliance, Investigations & Enforcement

Friling Law advises U.S. and international businesses, financial institutions, fintech companies, payment providers, money services businesses, digital asset companies, investors, and individuals on U.S. anti-money laundering and financial crime laws.

Our practice combines AML/BSA compliance, FinCEN regulatory matters, KYC and beneficial ownership due diligence, financial investigations, cross-border payments, banking compliance, and OFAC sanctions. We assist clients in developing preventive compliance frameworks, responding to financial institutions and regulators, investigating potentially problematic transactions, remediating compliance deficiencies, and defending against regulatory and enforcement actions.

For international clients, we place particular emphasis on matters involving cross-border financial flows, U.S. dollar transactions, correspondent banking, high-risk jurisdictions, complex ownership structures, and the intersection between AML and U.S. economic sanctions.
