Starting January 1, 2024, many companies will be required to report information to the U.S. government about who ultimately owns and controls them.
A final rule implemented the beneficial ownership information reporting requirements of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), issued in September 2022. These regulations go into effect on January 1, 2024. Beginning on January 1, 2024, many companies in the United States will have to report information about their beneficial owners, i.e., the individuals who ultimately own or control the company, to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
