FATCA FFI Update and It Doesn’t Look Pretty. September Did Not Break 100,000!

Who We Are?
Haydon Perryman, FATCA Compliance expert of Strevus, and I have been undertaking (and publishing) the leading, same-day, analysis of the previous June 2nd and the July 1st of the FATCA FFI GIIN list by country, by IGA, by EAG, as well as exploring other interesting aspects of registered FFIs, and FATCA compliance documentation (e.g. W-8s and equivalent forms allowed by IGA). Haydon brings the practical side to bear having established the FATCA compliance system for Tier 1 UK institutions and Tier 1 EU ones, and I the academic side being the primary author of Lexis’ Guide to FATCA Compliance and an international tax professor.
