GAO focused on two issues. The first is whether the nation's annual National Money Laundering Strategy has served as a useful mechanism for guiding federal law enforcement efforts to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. Unless reauthorized by the Congress, the annual requirement ended with the 2003 strategy. The second issue is the implementation status of a May 2003 Memorandum of Agreement, signed by the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security, that was designed to enhance the coordination of terrorist financing investigations conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-710T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-710T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-710T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-710T.pdf GAO-04-710T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-710T Testimony GAO-04-710T; Investigating Money Laundering And Terrorist Financing: Federal Law Enforcement Agencies Face Continuing Coordination Challenges; Counterterrorism Crime prevention Criminals Law enforcement Law enforcement agencies Money laundering Strategic planning Terrorism White collar crime Volume 112 Page 2941 112 Stat. 2941
