The U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has published a final rule that clarifies—and narrows—the scope of companies required to report beneficial ownership information under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), which was part of the broader Anti-Money Laundering Act enacted in 2021.

The law is intended to combat money laundering and other financial crimes by reviewing financial transactions. It initially required certain limited liability companies (LLCs) and other entities to report “ultimate beneficial-owner information,” including name, date of birth, current address, and more, to FinCEN.
