Event Summary
The aggressive focus against tax evasion and other criminal activities around the globe is likely to continue.

The stiffer penalties that await violators and non-compliant entities underscore the need for all concerned individuals to ensure reporting transparency and due diligence. They should also stay well-versed with the recent developments in foreign assets as well as current program options to ensure compliance considering the complex and evolving nature of the current disclosure system and requirements.
