Recently, the House of Representatives and the Senate voted to override President Trump’s veto of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (“NDAA”) Under the NDAA is the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (“AMLA”) which includes the Corporate Transparency Act(“CTA”). The AMLA expands the Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) and modernizes and strengthens theUnited States’ financial crime monitoring systems. Among the significant provisions in the AMLA is the creation of a non-public, secure central registry to be administered by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) to track the beneficial ownership of business entities formed in or registered in the United States. Information filed under the AMLA/CTA will be available to state law enforcement authorities and to “a Federal agency engaged in national security, intelligence, or law enforcement activity”. In addition, a reporting company may authorize FinCEN to provide information to a bank or other financial institution to satisfy the bank’s or institution’s “know your customer” or other “diligence” requirements.
Under the AMLA/CTA a “reporting company” must disclose and update the names and identifying information of all “beneficial owners” (newly defined terms for such purposes) or be subject to substantial financial and criminal penalties. The reporting obligation applies to existing entities as well as newly formed entities. Once FinCEN adopts regulations under AMLA/CTA, newly formed entities must file promptly the following formation. Existing entities have up to two years to file beneficial ownership reports after FinCEN adopts AMLA/CTA regulations.
