Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. In this episode, Tom welcomes back Corporate Transparency Act expert and maven Jonathan Wilson for a look at how the Trump administration killed the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA).
In March, the Treasury Secretary announced that all domestic reporting companies would be exempt from filing Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reports, with only foreign reporting companies required to file. This obviously violates both the intent of the law and its plain language. Jonathan outlines the impact of this interim final rule, noting the loss of a critical tool for federal and state law enforcement and financial institutions. The pod explores the potential for legal challenges and the possible implications for ongoing constitutional lawsuits related to the Act.
Key highlights:
- Unexpected Regulatory Changes
- Implications of the New Rule
- Potential Legal Challenges
