Event Description
Practical experience & solutions from Banks - benchmark your progress to date
With less than a year until FATCA goes live, key deadlines are fast-approaching. Banks are now pushing forward with implementation as sitting back at this stage means running the risk of IRS penalties - a 30% withholding tax on U.S. source income.
Whilst Banks are acting now before the deadlines are upon us and it’s too late, firms are facing a major task in the run up to implementation.
In response, this conference brings together both large and small size Banks to address the challenges and provide a road map of solutions to achieving operational compliance.
