The Corporate Transparency Act requires every business to file a disclosure report to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the U.S. Department of Treasury will be overseeing the corporate reporting disclosure filings. This is the same agency that oversees the disclosures of U.S. residents with foreign bank accounts. FinCEN’s main mission is “to safeguard the financial system from illicit use and combat money laundering and promote national security through the collection, analysis, and dissemination of financial intelligence and strategic use of financial authorities.” According to FinCen’s FAQ, the main objection under CTA, is to “make it harder for bad actors to hide or benefit from their ill-gotten gains through shell companies or other opaque ownership structures.”
