Important Message Regarding Reporting of Beneficial Ownership Information

Please note that U.S. Department of Treasury beneficial ownership information reporting requirements have been affected by a recent federal court order. The Department of the Treasury has advised they are appealing that order.  The Treasury advised that, in the meantime, reporting companies are not currently required to file a Beneficial Ownership Information Report and are not subject to liability if they fail to do so while the applicable order remains in force.

However, reporting companies may still opt to file a BOIR.

More information is available on the US Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) website (https://www.fincen.gov/boi).
