According to compliance regulations, when must entities file an annual report on blocked property?

Entities are required to file an annual report on blocked property by September 30. This requirement is established under the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regulations, which mandate that organizations report any blocked property transactions during the previous fiscal year. The September 30 deadline aligns with the fiscal year-end for most entities, ensuring a consistent and manageable reporting timeline.

This timeframe provides financial institutions and other relevant entities a clear understanding of when they need to compile and submit their annual reports, reflecting their compliance obligations with regard to any assets that have been blocked due to sanctions or other legal reasons. Understanding this deadline is crucial for maintaining compliance and avoiding potential penalties associated with late or incomplete reporting concerning blocked property transactions.
