What Should I Do If I Need To Update The Information On The BOI Report I Filed?
If your company needs to make changes, to a report, you will have 30 days to do so. For updates, the 30-day period begins when the relevant change happens. For corrections, the 30-day timeframe starts after you become aware of, or have reason to know about, an inaccuracy in a previous report. It’s crucial to follow the correct procedures to ensure accuracy and compliance. Here are the general steps you should take:
- Identify the Updates: Determine the specific information that needs to be updated in your BOI report. This could include changes in beneficial ownership, ownership percentages, or other relevant details.
- Prepare the Revised Report: Create a revised BOI report with the updated information. Ensure that all changes are accurately documented and that the report reflects the current state of your company’s beneficial ownership.
- Submit the Updated Report: Follow the submission procedures outlined by the regulatory authorities, typically the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). You may need to submit the updated report through the appropriate channels, which may include online filing systems or other designated methods.
- Retain Records: Keep records of both the original and updated BOI reports for your company’s records. Documentation is essential for demonstrating compliance with reporting requirements.
- Seek Legal Guidance: If you have any questions or uncertainties about the process of updating your BOI report, it’s advisable to consult with legal professionals or regulatory authorities to ensure you follow the correct procedures.
Remember that maintaining accurate and up-to-date BOI reports is essential to compliance with the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) and can help your company avoid potential penalties for non-compliance.
What Happens If There’s An Inaccuracy In My Beneficial Ownership Information Report?
If you discover an inaccuracy in your Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report, it’s essential to take prompt corrective action to ensure compliance with the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). You will only have a 30-day window to make corrections once you become aware of the error. Here’s what you should do:
- Review the Inaccuracy: Carefully examine the BOI report to identify the specific inaccuracies and their nature. Determine whether they pertain to beneficial ownership details, ownership percentages, or any other relevant information.
- Prepare Corrected Information: Gather accurate and updated information to rectify the inaccuracies in the report. Ensure that the corrected information aligns with the current state of your company’s beneficial ownership.

It’s crucial to address inaccuracies promptly to ensure that your BOI report reflects the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding your company’s beneficial ownership. Failure to correct inaccuracies could result in non-compliance with CTA regulations, potentially leading to penalties or legal consequences.
