Starting January 1, 2024, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) requires certain entities to report information to the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), including beneficial ownership information (BOI).
Enacted as part of broad anti-money laundering and antiterrorism measures, the CTA attempts to ensure businesses operating in the United States are legitimate entities. The goal is to prevent businesses from being used for illicit activities that might harm U.S. national security or financial systems.
