FinCEN – Regulatory Resource Center

Customer Satisfaction Survey FY 2012

Introduction

Hello. May I please speak with __________?

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (often referred to as FinCEN) is committed to serving and satisfying their customers. FinCEN has commissioned the CFI Group, an independent third-party research group, to conduct this survey.

FinCEN records indicate that you submitted an inquiry through the Bank Secrecy Act Helpline or through the FinCEN Internet site during the past three months regarding [insert issue or inquiry, and note if caller was referred to another federal agency].

Intro1. Is this correct?

1. Yes (Continue)

2. No (Verify name with respondent)

3. Don’t Know/Don’t Remember (Thank and Terminate Call)

Going forward in this survey we will refer to both the Helpline and the Internet-initiated inquiries commonly as “the Regulatory Resource Center.”

The survey should only take approximately three minutes to complete. CFI Group will treat all information you provide as confidential. All information you provide will be combined with others’ for research and reporting purposes. Your individual responses will not be released. This survey is authorized by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Control No.1505-0191.

Please note that your answers to the following survey questions should only reflect the response you received from FinCEN, and not that of another federal government organization to which you could have been referred.
