  • Summary

  • The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) seeks to increase corporate transparency and combat financial crimes in the U.S. such as money laundering and terrorist financing. Enacted in January 2021 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, the CTA requires certain business entities to disclose their beneficial owners—individuals who ultimately own or control the company. Namely, corporations, limited liability companies, and similar entities must report their beneficial owners to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. Some entities, such as large operating companies, regulated entities (banks, insurance companies, etc.), and entities already subject to extensive federal regulation, are exempt from these reporting requirements. There are steep penalties for non-compliance or falsifying information, including fines and possible imprisonment. Even though cannabis companies are federally illegal, they are not exempt from reporting under the CTA. In this episode host Hilary Bricken, and Yuefan Wang, corporate, M&A, and securities partner at Husch Blackwell, discuss the mechanics of the CTA and how and when cannabis companies must comply, including consequences to cannabis companies if they fail to report.
