FinCEN's Reporting Requirements, Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting: Foreign (outside of the U.S.) Business Entities

Certain types of foreign business entities- those created under the laws of any country other than the United States- registered to do business in the United States must report information about their beneficial owners— the persons who ultimately own or control the company—to the U.S. Department of Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
