The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), an agency of Congress,
has been mandated by the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 to review the
usefulness of currency transaction reports (CTRs) filed by depository institutions,
particularly to federal, state, and
local law enforcement agencies, and the extent to which CTR filing rules are burdensome
to depository institutions. As part of this effort, GAO is conducting a
survey of agencies that access Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) data by way of Gateway, also known
as the Web-based Currency and Banking Retrieval System (WebCBRS).
The purpose of the survey is to obtain your agency's views on how, if at all, CTRs help or hinder
your agency in fulfilling its objectives. While we sent this questionnaire to you, as the contact
designated by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), you are welcome to solicit
the views of other knowledgeable staff members within your agency when completing this
questionnaire.
Please complete this questionnaire within 10 business days of receipt. We appreciate your
taking the time to participate in our survey - your participation is essential
to its success.
