A company\u2019s beneficial ownership details are vital for transparency and regulatory adherence, as they pinpoint the individuals who ultimately own or control the business. Centralised registers of beneficial ownership information enable law enforcement to swiftly identify individuals behind suspicious entities during investigations. Whether managing a wealth management firm, overseeing compliance at a bank, or handling international client relationships, comprehending what BOI entails and who must report it is crucial for regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide provides a comprehensive overview of beneficial ownership information, covering legal definitions under the Corporate Transparency Act, which introduces a federal BOI reporting requirement affecting over 30 million businesses starting January 1, 2024, alongside practical filing obligations and how platforms like InvestGlass assist institutions in efficiently managing this data. BOI reporting empowers financial institutions to conduct precise customer due diligence, mitigating risks linked to anonymous shell companies. Regulatory bodies such as the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) collect beneficial ownership information to enhance transparency and safeguard the financial system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quick-answer-what-is-beneficial-ownership-information-boi\">R\u00e9ponse rapide : qu'est-ce que l'information sur les b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiaires effectifs (BOI) ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beneficial ownership information comprises the personal and identifying details of individuals who ultimately own or control a legal entity, regardless of whether their names appear on public corporate documents. Simply put, it reveals who truly controls a company, trust, or similar entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the U.S. Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), BOI generally includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Individuals owning or controlling at least 25% of a reporting company\u2019s ownership interests<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Individuals exercising substantial control over a company, such as senior officers or those with authority over major decisions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Data such as full legal name, date of birth, residential street address, and identification document details (e.g., passport or driver\u2019s licence)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This information is submitted to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) via its secure filing system. The objective is to combat money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illicit activities enabled by opaque ownership structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mise \u00e0 jour importante pour 2025 :<\/strong> Following FinCEN\u2019s interim final rule in March 2025, most domestic reporting companies formed under U.S. state or tribal law, and many U.S. beneficial owners, are exempt from BOI reporting. However, foreign reporting companies registered to operate in the U.S. remain obligated to file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For financial institutions and regulated firms, BOI is central to KYC, onboarding, and ongoing compliance. Platforms such as InvestGlass enable compliance teams to capture, securely store, and utilise this data within a unified, auditable system, centralising everything from identification images to risk assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-beneficial-ownership-information-is-defined-under-the-corporate-transparency-act\">Comment les informations sur les b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiaires effectifs sont-elles d\u00e9finies dans la loi sur la transparence des entreprises ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), enacted in 2021 and effective from January 1, 2024, establishes the principal U.S. legal framework for defining and collecting beneficial ownership information, focusing on the reporting company\u2019s ownership interests. Companies must report details about their beneficial owners to FinCEN. The CTA aims to increase transparency in ownership structures and prevent misuse of corporations for illicit activities like money laundering and fraud. Grasping these definitions is essential for any reporting company or institution performing due diligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A beneficial owner is an individual who directly or indirectly exercises substantial control over a reporting company or owns or controls at least 25% of its ownership interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-two-key-criteria-for-beneficial-ownership\">Deux crit\u00e8res cl\u00e9s pour la propri\u00e9t\u00e9 effective<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the CTA, an individual qualifies as a beneficial owner if they meet either of these conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crit\u00e8re<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><\/th><th colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><\/th><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><strong>Description<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><strong>Seuil de propri\u00e9t\u00e9<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>La personne physique poss\u00e8de ou contr\u00f4le au moins 25% des participations de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9clarante<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p><strong>Contr\u00f4le substantiel<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>The individual exercises substantial control over the company, irrespective of ownership percentage<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><p>The \u201cor\u201d is important: meeting one criterion suffices to be a beneficial owner.<\/p><\/td><td colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\"><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-counts-as-ownership-interests\">Qu'est-ce qui est consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme une participation au capital ?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The definition is broad and includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">- Instruments de capitaux propres, actions ou autres instruments similaires<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">- Participations dans des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s \u00e0 responsabilit\u00e9 limit\u00e9e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Profit or capital interests<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">- Instruments convertibles et bons de souscription<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">- Options d'achat ou de vente de participations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Any arrangement establishing ownership, including indirect ownership via holding companies, trusts, or partnerships<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-exercises-substantial-control\">Qui exerce un contr\u00f4le substantiel ?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Substantial control covers individuals with decision-making authority beyond equity holders, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chief executive, financial, or operating officers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Managing directors or general counsel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Senior officers with authority over significant strategic or operational decisions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Individuals with veto power over major company matters, even with less than 25% equity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FinCEN\u2019s detailed rules at 31 CFR \u00a7 1010.380 provide precise criteria and examples for compliance teams to review.
