Beneficial Ownership Information: A Guide to the Corporate Transparency Act
This episode explains the US Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) of 2021, which mandates beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting for most businesses to combat financial crimes like money laundering. BOI includes details identifying a company's true owners, helping prevent fraud and build trust. The CTA's implementation has presented challenges for businesses, particularly meeting deadlines and verifying complex ownership structures. Non-compliance carries significant penalties, highlighting the importance of robust internal procedures and technological solutions for effective BOI reporting and verification. The rising cost of scams further underscores the need for such measures.
