Vince Farhat is our Latest Featured Speaker!
Our latest featured speaker is Vince Farhat of Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP!
Vince is speaking at our upcoming Understanding the Corporate Transparency Act and Helping your Clients Comply program on November 14, 2024. The Corporate Transparency Act (the “CTA”) went into effect on January 1, 2024. It requires “reporting companies” in the United States to disclose information regarding its beneficial owners, i.e., the individuals who own or control a company, to the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”). Join attorneys specializing in the CTA for a comprehensive discussion covering the act’s implications, impacted entities, filing the Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR), key deadlines, penalties, and related congressional, judicial, and state matters.
Vince will be teaching several sessions in this program including: “Enforcement and Penalties,” and “Legislative and Judicial Update.” He will also be co-teaching “History of CTA, Entities Impacted & Exempt Entities” with Bruce Givner and Eileen Duffy Robinett, and “Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR): Contents, Timing, Gathering Information & Access” with Bruce Givner. You can see the detailed agenda for his topics and the rest of the program, and sign up to watch it live or purchase OnDemand Streaming or a recorded package download here.
