The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network announced today that it will extend the deadline for certain filings of Form 114 (the Report of Foreign Bank Account, or FBAR) in light of a notice of proposed rulemaking issued in March to clarify who is exempt from filing the report under the Bank Secrecy Act.
