11 Slide 11 What? Who? Why? What is an FBAR (Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts)? Annual reporting for persons who have a financial interest in or signature authority over a foreign financial account (including a bank account, brokerage account, mutual fund, trust, or other type of foreign financial account) that exceeds certain thresholds. Who must file an FBAR? United States persons are required to file an FBAR if: The United States person had a financial interest in or signature authority over at least one financial account located outside of the United States; and The aggregate value of all foreign financial accounts exceeded $10,000 at any time during the calendar year to be reported. Is E-filing mandatory? Yes, effective July 1, 2013. In an effort to improve efficiency, reduce government and industry costs, and allow the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), law enforcement, and regulators to gain better and timelier access to important financial information, the FinCEN is requiring the electronic filing of certain reports.

12 Slide 12 E-Filing Enrollment Process The Office of the Treasurer serves as the administrator of the BSA E-Filing System.. As a filer, you are responsible for activating your account once enrollment has occurred. Once enrolled, you will receive an email from BSA E-Filing with the subject line: BSA E-Filing New User ID. This email will contain the new User ID (email address of the filer) and a link to instructions for activation. Once you’ve activated your User ID, an email is automatically sent to the Office of the Treasurer confirming the activation. The Office of the Treasurer will then assign the FBAR filer role required for you to begin use of the system.
