    In addition to details about the corporation, filings must also include contact details, date of birth, identifying number from a government issued identification and an image of that identification for all “beneficial owners”.  For a vast majority, board members are “beneficial owners” and in some associations, property managers may also be reported as individuals of the association with substantive control.

    Failing to report is punishable by civil penalties of up to $500 for each day that the violation continues and criminal penalties of up to two years imprisonment and a fine of up to $10,000.
