F3C: Strategic Objective F3C
Increase the Reliability of the U.S. Financial System Other Information:
Our Nation’s financial system must remain operational at all times. Treasury is responsible for ensuring the strength and
resilience of critical U.S. financial markets, and minimizing the potential effects of wide-scale disruptions. Additionally,
the recent string of corporate scandals signals the need for better corporate governance to ensure the reliability of the
U.S. financial system. Treasury ensures the integrity of the national currency and the safety of funds placed in financial
institutions. Treasury also administers a temporary federal program, established by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002,
which provides for a transparent system of shared public and private compensation for insured losses resulting from acts of
terrorism.
