The Corporate Registration Industry can play a constructive role in helping to deter the formation of illicit enterprises.  Below you will find links to relevant websites and materials prepared by both federal and international agencies involved in efforts to combat money laundering.  For example, the website of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) provides a list of foreign countries, terrorists, international drug traffickers and others with whom U.S. citizens and businesses may not undertake business dealings.  Violations of the statutes administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) may result in significant fines and/or criminal penalties including imprisonment.  The Division of Corporations strongly encourages employers and employees in the industry to be knowledgeable about these issues and to report suspicious activities to appropriate authorities.
