CAMICO’s Engagement Letter Language

See CAMICO’s below suggested engagement letter language:

Management is responsible for Client’s compliance with the Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”), if applicable to its business, and for ensuring that any required reporting of beneficial ownership information is timely filed with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) as required by the CTA. As (Firm) is not rendering any legal services as part of our engagement, we will not be responsible for advising you regarding the legal or regulatory aspects of your company’s compliance with the CTA, nor are we responsible for the preparation or submission of Client’s beneficial ownership information reports to FinCEN. If you have any questions regarding Client’s compliance with the CTA, including but not limited to whether an exemption may apply to your organization or to ascertain whether relationships constitute beneficial ownership under CTA rules, we strongly encourage you to consult with qualified legal counsel experienced in this area.
