Congressional Disapproval of Anti-Money Laundering Rules for Investment Advisers.

This Congressional resolution aims to block new rules proposed by FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). These rules would require registered investment advisers to implement anti-money laundering programs and file suspicious activity reports. If Congress approves this resolution, these new obligations for investment advisers will be canceled, potentially leading to less transparency in the financial sector but reducing administrative burdens for firms managing your money.
Key points
Congress seeks to disapprove the FinCEN rule that extended Anti-Money Laundering (AML) obligations to investment advisers.
If the resolution passes, investment advisers will not be required to establish formal AML programs or file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs).
The consequence is less regulatory burden on investment management firms, but potentially less protection against illicit money flows in the investment sector.
