Is the Corporate Transparency Act Still ‘Opaque’ to You? Here’s Some Clarity. Title insurance professionals bear the responsibility of ensuring an entity in a real estate transaction has the proper authority to take action. A new law called the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) has increased that responsibility by introducing new reporting requirements for #title pros. Taking effect on Jan. 1, 2024, the CTA requires certain U.S. companies to report specific information about their beneficial owners to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, US Treasury (FinCEN), a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. If FinCEN is a new concept for you, our blog this month offers some guidance on how to comply with the new reporting requirements – and even if you’re in an area that has already been reporting transaction information to FinCEN, you’ll benefit from this information! This blog tackles your FAQs on the CTA, including: ✅Who must report? ✅What must be reported, and when? ✅What are the penalties for noncompliance? PLUS: If you’ve seen recent headlines about the constitutionality of this new law, we’ve got the latest update on that, too. Get clarity on the Corporate Transparency Act with this clearly written guidance from Marilyn Cook Cunningham, Vice President, Mid-Atlantic Regional Underwriting Counsel for Doma Title Insurance, Inc. #Doma #titleinsurance #realestate #underwriter #transparency #FINCEN
