    Webinar: Corporate Transparency Act – What You Need to Know

    12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
    Fee: Free
    Location: Online - Zoom

    The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) may be the most transformative piece of legislation in recent memory. For the first time, a nationwide database of companies and their beneficial owners is being created in order to assist law enforcement in detecting and preventing terrorism, money laundering and other misconduct through business entities. The CTA is the culmination of more than a decade of congressional efforts. Prior to CTA, the burden of collecting beneficial ownership information was squarely on financial institutions. Now, the CTA will shift this burden to those business entities that fall under the purview of the CTA .

    During this webinar, we will discuss:
    - How the CTA came about
    - What the framework looks like
    - Who is bound by the CTA
    - The impact we can expect after the CTA is fully implemented

    Speakers:
    Maxwell Briskman Stanfield, Partner | Meyer, Unkovic & Scott
