About CTA
A tactical crash course on the Corporate Transparency Act and Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting — not a certification exam, but the practitioner playbook for advising clients. It's grounded in the current Interim Final Rule and the fast-moving litigation around it.
You'll learn who is actually in scope after the rule narrowed, what data to collect, how to navigate the FinCEN BOIR e-filing portal, the real penalties, and how to stay ready as the rules change.
Format
No certification exam — a focused practitioner crash course (12 lectures) on FinCEN's BOI reporting regime, filing mechanics, penalties, and the ongoing litigation.
