CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) went into effect on January 1, 2024. At a high level, this is an anti-money laundering rule enacted by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the U.S. Department of Treasury.

Prepare for the CTA Reporting Requirements 

Starting January 1, 2024, United States entities and foreign entities registered to do business in the United States will be subject to the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of the CTA, unless they are exempt.
