Supreme Court Ruling, Bank Secrecy Act Beneficial Owners vs. 1071 Principal Owners

Written by Diane Dean | Jun 11, 2024 9:09:12 PM

In the world of compliance, staying ahead of regulatory changes is crucial. For professionals in this field, our 1071 Implementation Membership Group offers a strategic advantage.

The Supreme Court Ruling: Its Impact on 1071 Implementation

The Supreme Court ruling had significant implications for 1071 implementation. Although the case was primarily about the funding mechanism of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the outcome affects the entire regulatory landscape. The CFPB had to pause certain activities while the case was pending, but they are now, by all accounts, full steam ahead. This includes the hiring of additional staff and an expected increase in enforcement efforts. For financial institutions, this means that there should be no delays in 1071 preparations.

Comparing Beneficial Ownership and 1071 Principal Owners

Understanding the differences between the Bank Secrecy Act’s beneficial owner requirements and what lies ahead for principal owners under 1071 is essential for compliance, as these differences are significant. June's 1071 Implementation meeting provided a key look into how the requirements for a 1071 principal owner compare to those of a Bank Secrecy Act beneficial owner.
