Registration is open for members for the upcoming Road Builder University webinar on Beneficial Owners Information. ➡ Most U.S. entities must report beneficial ownership information (BOI) to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). Enacted by Congress in 2021, the CTA directs the U.S. Treasury Department to create a federal database of the beneficial ownership information of myriad entities, including most corporations and LLCs. ➡ The reporting rules went into effect on January 1, 2024, for newly created entities. Entities in existence as of the end of this year have one year to report to FinCEN. 📅 Join us Monday, August 12 to learn what this means for your business! Register at https://bit.ly/3S00OGa.
