Live date: Tuesday, July 30, 2024

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), a groundbreaking federal law, took effect on January 1, 2024. In the most recent installment of our CTA webinar series, CTA Part 7: Navigating the New Norm, a 7-Month Check-in on the Corporate Transparency Act, (now renamed The Corporate Transparency Act, Updates and Changes) our presenter, Pia Angelikis, Esq., VP of Government Relations and Legal Research, provides the information available since our 4-month check-in, including analysis of the Federal challenges to the CTA along with an updated status of NSBU v. Yellen, a discussion of the new FAQs that FinCEN issued on June 10 and a refresh on reporting requirements and deadlines in conjunction with navigating the Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Report.
