Overview
In 2022, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) finalized regulations implementing certain aspects of the U.S. Corporate Transparency Act, which for the first time created a federal obligation for many U.S. entities and non-U.S. entities registered to do business in the United States to report beneficial ownership information (BOI). The FinCEN regulations became effective on January 1, 2024, and FinCEN has been continuously publishing guidance and updating its FAQs.
