FinCEN issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to give the public an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed rule to implement the CTA’s beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting provisions. The proposed rule would significantly enhance the ability to protect the U.S. financial system from illicit use, and provide essential information to law enforcement and others help prevent corrupt actors, terrorists, and proliferators from hiding money or other property in the United States.  Requiring entities to submit beneficial ownership information to FinCEN and providing timely access to this information to law enforcement, financial institutions, and other authorized users is intended to help combat corruption, money laundering, terrorist financing, tax fraud, and other illicit activity.

During this webinar, we will look at the proposed rule line-by-line and its key elements.  We will cover the changes that may require updates in your policies, procedures and processes when it finalizes.
