FATCA, CRS Compliance Platform ‘factor’
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is a United States federal law requiring all non-U.S. (‘foreign’) financial institutions (FFIs) like Banks to report the assets and identities of US Tax Residents to the US Department of Treasury.
The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) is an information standard for the automatic exchange of information (AEOI) regarding bank accounts on a global level, between tax authorities. Non-US countries took the lead to have the global reporting in place to check tax evasion, modelled on similar lines of the FATCA law.
FATCA and CRS reporting has become mandatory compliance and regulatory reporting requirements for most of the Banks and Financial Services firms across the globe in over 100+ countries, and Jurisdictions.
Simplifying FATCA and CRS Compliance with factor*
PVin Corp, doing business as Global Comply Solutions, has developed a proprietary platform, factor, which offers software applications for FATCA, and CRS.
factor provides actionable insights into FATCA and CRS specific compliance needs. It proactively monitors and manages system information, without waiting for year end, to achieve better control over key compliance needs like IRS reporting and tax withholdings, and to help improve the data governance of source systems and transactions.
factor offers a series of modules, which can be individually setup, configured, administered, and reported from or can be installed as an integrated platform.
factor is a full suite of software that
- transforms master and transaction data
- processes data through separate FATCA, and CRS tax engines
- prepares country specific FATCA, and CRS reports
- files FATCA, and CRS reports via the local regulator’s portal using XML
- is capable of multi-Jurisdictional FATCA, and CRS reporting
- is available on –premises or cloud hosted; multi-country, multi-entity reporting enabled model

As our Board Advisor Vamsi Chemitiganti, a well-known expert in this space says, “the following are the six highest priority issues and critical gaps in global AML Programs, pointed out by regulators:
1. Institutions failing to develop AML frameworks that are unique to the risks run by organizations given their product and geographic mix.
2. Failure to develop real-time insights into business transactions and assigning them elevated risks based on their elements.
3. Developing AML models that draw from the widest possible sources of data – both internal and external – to understand a true picture of the business.
4. Demonstrating a consistent approach across geographies.
5. Leveraging the latest developments in analytics including Machine Learning to enable the automation of AML programs.
6. Lack of appropriate business governance & change management in setting, monitoring and managing AML compliance programs, policies and procedures”.
