The reporting requirements of the beneficial ownership information (BOI) registry being developed by the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) will likely be revised following harsh criticism from lawmakers and businesses.

FinCEN and the Treasury Department did not respond to a request seeking confirmation of the statement.
