FinCEN Accountability Act of 2023

This bill requires the Treasury Secretary to disclose FinCEN’s operational guidance documents (like policies and directives) to Congress and the public, increasing transparency around how the agency enforces financial crime laws. It limits who can bypass standard rulemaking procedures for FinCEN-related rules, restricting exceptions to the Secretary of the Treasury alone. The bill also extends the required testimony period for FinCEN’s Director from 5 to 10 years when appearing before Congress. These changes directly affect FinCEN, a Treasury agency responsible for implementing the Bank Secrecy Act and combating financial crimes.
