Beneficial Ownership Determination and Customer Due Diligence
OVERVIEW
The rise of anonymous companies has frustrated the efforts of
law enforcement and financial regulators to track down illicit financial flowsand to prevent crime and corruption. In response, there has been a
worldwide effort to increase transparency of ownership and controlling
interests in legal entities. It is now incumbent as part of the due
diligence process that a company, especially financial institutions, know who
really owns or controls legal entities not in their own name. Substantial
penalties can apply for violations of these new regulations.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
As the internet has resulted in an increasing speed at which
funds can be transferred, it is now more than ever essential to know who is in
real control or ownership of legal entities. Such information is a requisite
towards assigning responsibility or legal liability for contractual matters,
taxes, and for recourse in the event of illegalities.
Legislation has been pending or adopted in many jurisdictions
mandating the verification of beneficial ownership as part of a business’s due
diligence process. Failure to follow these requirements can result in drastic
penalties to the offender.
The webinar will examine how a business’s due diligence process
can identify and verify beneficial ownership and how a company can protect
itself against regulatory and legal violations.
