Wolters Kluwer - The Road to Compliance: Understanding the Corporate Transparency Act and FinCEN Beneficial Ownership
Garfunkel Wild’s Steven R. Antico and J. David Morrissy will present the webinar “The Road to Compliance: Understanding the Corporate Transparency Act and FinCEN Beneficial Ownership” for Wolters Kluwer on February 20, 2024, at 4:00 pm (ET).
Steven R. Antico and J. David Morrissy will break down the Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting Requirements and how the requirements will affect your business. Pursuant to the CTA, as of January 1, 2024, certain business entities, known as "Reporting Companies", are required to submit to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) a beneficial ownership information report ("BOI Report") containing certain information relating to any individuals who own at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the ownership interests of a Reporting Company and/or who otherwise exert substantial control over the Reporting Company, or its business, financial, and/or structural matters (a "Beneficial Owner"). Learn why the reporting requirements went into effect, who is required to submit a BOI Report and what information is required, in addition to learning how to obtain “FinCEN Identifiers” to streamline this process. The webinar will also touch upon deadlines and penalties associated with the filing of a BOI Report to ensure you remain in compliance with the reporting requirements.
Who Should Attend
This course would be appropriate for attorneys, paralegals, CPAs, CFOs, CEOs, managers, employees, and anyone who is interested in obtaining an overview of the FinCEN Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting Requirements.
