In the sprawling landscape of U.S. compliance mandates, the Corporate Transparency Act casts a broad-reaching glow upon every reporting company operating within the U.S. This legislation includes complex requirements for every data field submitted by reporting companies. Every reporting company must thoroughly review and check submissions with their firm before filing to avoid harsh FinCEN penalties.
The penalties associated with misreporting or non-compliance under the Corporate Transparency Act are not to be taken lightly. A reporting company that either mistakenly or willfully submits inaccurate beneficial ownership information can be slapped with staggering fines of up to $10,000. If this monetary blow wasn’t daunting enough, responsible individuals within the entity can also face incarceration for up to 2 years, a stark testament to the CTA’s unyielding intent to ensure transparency and accuracy.
Given the severe repercussions of even inadvertent errors, it is critical that every piece of beneficial ownership information undergoes review before being dispatched for official reporting. FincenFetch supports reviewing filings after clients submit their beneficial ownership information and before the firm files to FinCEN. This essential step assures that data is verified before filing so your clients have peace of mind and avoid any FinCEN penalties.
