To help fight financial crimes, the Beneficial Ownership Rule is a requirement from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) which mandates all covered financial institutions collect and verify from certain non-exempt legal entities information about the beneficial owners of the entity at the time a new account is opened. Most companies are covered by the rule. FinCEN began accepting reports on January 1, 2024. This panel will discuss the ins and outs of the Rule.
