It formulates and recommends domestic and international financial, economic, and tax policy, and oversees a vast array of bureaus including the IRS, the Mint, and the Secret Service. Beyond collecting taxes and managing debt, the Treasury plays a critical role in enforcing financial sanctions, combating illicit finance, and ensuring the stability of the U.S. and global financial systems.
