1. As we fast approach the stipulated timelines associated with FATCA, enterprises worldwide need to quickly
get their acts together and redesign all processes to adhere to the various regulatory mandates. This
enterprise wide change has to be planned meticulously, ensuring business as usual doesn't suffer any
major jolts in the process.
Approaching FATCA as just another reporting exercise is a short-sighted approach that may lead to
complexities in future. Achieving compliance in a comprehensive manner will require specialized roles and
processes to be created, facilitated by an extended information gathering mechanism built on an efficient
Information Management System.
