## Definition
The **Office of Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes (TFFC)** is the policy and international-engagement component within Treasury's [[wiki/Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence|Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence]]. It formulates and coordinates anti-money-laundering, countering-the-financing-of-terrorism, and counter-proliferation-financing policy.
TFFC develops strategies for using Treasury authorities against national-security and foreign-policy threats, works with international counterparts and standard-setting bodies, and helps align regulation, intelligence, sanctions, and engagement with the financial sector. It is a policy office, not the repository for every bank or card transaction and not a substitute for the criminal jurisdiction of investigative agencies.
