To integrate all FinCEN activities, this plan focuses on three mission-critical outcome goals for the next 5 years: financial systems resistant to criminal abuse; detection and deterrence of money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illicit activity; and efficient management, safeguarding, and use of BSA information. The plan also outlines five cross-cutting principles that will serve as the foundation for all our work:

1. A quest for maximum efficiency and effectiveness in both our internal operations and our external impact;
2. A commitment to create value for the wide range of government customers that rely on the BSA data and analyses of that data;
3. Partnerships and collaboration with a host of external entities as well as among FinCEN employees with different areas of expertise;
4. A global perspective; and
5. Use of secure, advanced technology to facilitate all our operations.
