Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) gathers, analyzes, assesses, and discloses financial intelligence. Originally created in July 2000 to counter suspected money laundering, FINTRAC's mandate was expanded in December 2001 to provide the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) with information on terrorist financing that threaten the security of Canada.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FINTRAC - Who We Are )〕 FINTRAC was established under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) Act, which was amended in December, 2001 to become the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA). FINTRAC's mandate was further amended in 2006 under Bill C-25 to expand the scope and require more detailed reporting by entities and individuals when certain risks thresholds were exceeded or identified. The Director of FINTRAC reports to the Minister of Finance. FINTRAC receives information on: * Suspicious transactions * Suspected terrorist property * Large cash transactions〔A large cash transaction is considered to be CA$10,000 or more.〕 * Electronic funds transfer * Cross border currency reporting In 2006, FINTRAC identified over CA$5 billion in suspected money laundering and terrorist financing.
