Criminal Investigation is responsible for the enforcement of tax, money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act laws. Compliance with tax laws in the United States relies heavily on self-assessments of what tax is owed. That is called voluntary compliance. When individuals and corporations deliberately do not comply, CI responds and enhances compliance through successful criminal prosecutions.As financial investigators, CI Special Agents fill a unique niche in the federal law enforcement community. Today's sophisticated schemes to defraud the government demand the analytical ability of financial investigators to wade through complex paper and computerized financial records. Due to the increased use of automation for financial records, CI Special Agents are trained to recover computer evidence. Along with their financial investigative skills, they use specialized forensic technology to recover financial data that may have been encrypted, password protected or hidden by other electronic means.Criminal Investigation's conviction rate is one of the highest in federal law enforcement.

Special Agent - Computer Investigative Specialists (SA-CIS) are experienced Special Agents who receive advanced specialized training in digital forensics. The use of computers and mobile devices continues to increase in both the business and personal world and digital evidence is a significant aspect of today’s financial investigations. Computer equipment and mobile devices may contain financial records, communications, photos, geolocation information and much more. This data may only exist in its digital form and no longer exist on physical paper. The data on the devices may be encrypted, password protected, deleted or otherwise hidden. These challenges require the SA-CIS to use their investigative skills and specialized equipment and software to forensically recover this data as evidence in tax, money laundering, and other financial violations.
