Surveillance On-Demand for FATCA Compliance
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is an American law that requires non-U.S. financial institutions to identify and report detailed information about certain American financial account holders to the U.S. tax authority, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Full compliance with the Act calls for a thorough, meticulous approach in order to identify customers who may be reportable under FATCA, to aggregate reportable data for qualifying individuals and businesses, and to report accurately.
