All About the Corporate Transparency Act and Your Clients

Apr 19, 2024
Laws & Compliance

Staying current on legislation that may impact your clients is essential to remaining in compliance and avoiding stiff penalties. One piece of legislation that affects nearly all businesses under $5 million in gross revenue is the Corporate Transparency Act.

If your clients have revenues under that threshold and fewer than full-time 20 employees, new requirements may be imposed. Keep reading to find out how to help them stay compliant.

The Corporate Transparency Act went into effect on January 1, 2024, aiming to curb illicit financial dealings in business. All companies that meet certain criteria are required to file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Report to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a division of the Department of Treasury.
