Financial Institutions: Alert - March 18, 2010

An important interagency "Guidance on Obtaining and Retaining Beneficial Ownership Information" was issued on March 5, 2010, by FinCEN (jointly with the SEC and each bank regulatory agency) as FinCEN Guidance FIN 2010-G001. The Guidance expressly singles out accounts maintained for various types of entities, specifically those that are not publicly traded in the United States, such as unincorporated associations, private investment companies (PICs), trusts and foundations. While the Guidance breaks no new ground, its primary significance is that beneficial ownership is the new "hot button" for BSA/AML regulators and their compliance audit teams. Financial institutions should take heed and review their AML compliance procedures in this area to ensure that the "recommended" procedures in the Guidance are in place and rigorously enforced.
