Why Should You Attend:

FATCA delivers to the global financial world a set of specific Know Your Customer (KYC) enhancements that may not be required or practiced in specific jurisdictions outside of the United States. Effectually, FATCA creates the first standardization of global KYC and compliance. The complexities of FATCA such as withholding of funds or identification of customers with dual citizenship to the handling of certain client types make proper FATCA implementation difficult.

It will enhance attendees’ practical knowledge on effective FATCA implementation and will discuss how to identify obligations and required actions to be taken. It will also look into remediation processes for existing clients and intergovernmental agreements (pros and cons).

This course will also address how to implement the specific provisions of FATCA, how to train your staff and the front office line of staff.

Topic Background:

Financial Institution compliance is not new news for any institution around the world. However, the development and enforcement of a global requirement to report individuals and business entities under specific guidelines to a foreign government agency (US IRS), is an entirely new form of compliance for Foreign Financial Institutions (FFI).

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) created by the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) through the 2010 Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act, imposes steep and enhanced due diligence measures upon Foreign Financial Institutions (FFI) that have not or may not be required or enforced by the FFI’s host nation. Such enhanced requirements of client identification will also spread to understanding and identifying client products, related accounts, account balances and account activity. All of which, will be required to be monitored and reported on an annual basis from the FFI to the IRS on clients identified as individuals subject to US tax.

Since 2010, FATCA in its legal form has received various modifications and interpretations. However, early 2013 FATCA was re-introduced in its final regulation form and effectually setting the tone for FATCA compliance enforcement by 2014. Given the deadlines and requirements of FATCA, many FFI’s that currently do not maintain client data as efficiently as the US IRS assumes are hurrying to develop processes that will allow them to identify new clients under FATCA guidelines. Further, many FFI’s are seeing an increase in operational work to remediate their client base within a 24 month timeframe and in accordance with FATCA guidelines.

Proper FATCA program implementation, system development and integration, effective remediation projects and programs to reduce operational bottle-necks and precise training and testing of staff will allot any Foreign Financial Institution the ability to implement FATCA as an effective program and allow for such program policies and procedures to expand and operate for other jurisdictional requirements from other soon to come nations requiring similar FATCA data.
