If so, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) requires owners of certain new businesses to file online the necessary information (for Beneficial Owners and Company Applicants) with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This must be done within 90 days of the creation/registration date of the business, or you could face potential penalties. A business lawyer can help ensure you are in compliance of new CTA rules. #TuesdayTip #businesslaw #CorporateTransparencyAct #businesslawyer #Wisconsin #corporateattorney

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Fines Companies $3 Million for Violating Whistleblower Protection Rules The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has recently settled with seven companies, imposing a total of over $3 million in civil penalties for violating whistleblower protection rules: Acadia Healthcare received the largest fine in Monday’s settlement, agreeing to pay nearly $1.4 million in civil penalties. AppFolio followed, agreeing to pay $692,250 in civil fines, while a.k.a. Brands said it would pay $399,750 and credit-reporting agency TransUnion, $312,000. Also fined were LSB Industries, Inc., #INDEX and #SmartforLife. These companies used employment agreements that impeded potential whistleblowers from reporting securities law violations to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Ensuring that whistleblowers can communicate directly with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is crucial for maintaining transparency and accountability in the corporate world. This settlement underscores the importance of protecting those who come forward to report misconduct. #WhistleblowerProtection #SEC #TransparencyMatters #CorporateAccountability #CivilPenalties #ComplianceMatters #EthicalBusinessPractices #SecuritiesLaw #EmployeeRights #ReportingMisconduct
