The Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AMLA) includes the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) which permits the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to gather beneficial ownership information and share it with suitable recipients, including federal law enforcement. The CTA is a component of the National Defense Authorization Act, which was sanctioned on January 1, 2021, and is one of the most essential anti-money laundering laws authorized by Congress in the past few decades.
