FinCEN employs a multi-faceted approach to verify the information submitted in BOI reports. The process begins with automated data validation checks that ensure the submitted information conforms to regulatory requirements. Following this, FinCEN conducts manual reviews to assess the completeness and accuracy of the data. This may involve cross-referencing the reported information with other regulatory databases and public records. In cases where discrepancies or incomplete information are identified, FinCEN may request additional documentation or clarification from the reporting entity. This thorough verification process helps ensure that all reported beneficial ownership information is accurate and reliable.

BOI Compliance, LLC (“BOI Comp”) is not affiliated with the US Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) directly. FinCEN permits third-party service providers to assist business owners in submitting reports through FinCEN’s BOI E-filing website or an Application Programming Interface. Once BOI Comp submits your report to FinCEN, you will receive confirmation. FinCEN does not charge a fee if you wish to navigate the government’s reporting application process yourself and submit your company’s BOI report directly to FinCEN.
