This LIVE webinar is on 11/21 10am - 12pm EST.
Webinar Description:
Per the Bank Secrecy Act, every year, you must report certain foreign financial accounts, such as bank accounts, brokerage accounts, and mutual funds, to the Treasury Department and keep certain records of those accounts. You report the accounts by filing a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) on Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) Form 114.
Join Crystal Stranger for an informative session on the latest updates in FinCEN's beneficial ownership reporting requirements. We’ll delve into the background of FBAR Form 114 and enforcement trends, explore key tax court rulings impacting compliance, and discuss the new reporting obligations for U.S. companies with foreign beneficiaries. This session will provide tax practitioners and U.S. business founders with critical insights and practical guidance to navigate these evolving compliance requirements confidently.
