Preparing for the Storm: Is Your Organization Ready for the 2024 Corporate Transparency Act? (Dec 20, 2023)
Preparing for the Storm: Is Your Organization Ready for the 2024 Corporate Transparency Act? (Dec 20, 2023) a.ouko@acc.comOn-Demand
The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) marks a seismic shift in federal anti-money laundering (AML) policy and, starting January 1, 2024, will require millions of U.S. and foreign entities to disclose Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) to the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Congress enacted the CTA to thwart persons who “seek to conceal their ownership of corporations, limited liability companies or other similar entities . . . to facilitate illicit activity. . . .” The CTA has a much broader sweep than this, however, and affects all kinds of legitimate business enterprises. It is expected that tens of millions of entities will be required to register. This program will provide you with the latest information on the CTA, and provide an opportunity for discussion on the likely implications for your organization and strategies to ensure compliance.
