New Corporate Transparency Act: Beneficial Owner Reporting Requirements, Civil and Criminal Penalties
A live 90-minute CLE video webinar with interactive Q&A
This CLE webinar will provide corporate counsel with guidance on the requirements of the Corporate Transparency Act of 2021 (CTA), which would create a beneficial ownership registry within the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This new legislation requires millions of "reporting companies" to report information on their "beneficial owners" to FinCEN and sets forth both civil and criminal penalties for those owners that fail to comply.
