In celebration of our 50th anniversary, Incserv founding partner and current chairwoman of the board, Carol Braverman, shares an oral history of the company.
Working with the Delaware Division of Corporations in Response to OFAC’s Russia Sanctions
Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) took sweeping action against Russia and its war efforts against Ukraine.
In addition to designating, or sanctioning, individuals and entities critical to the Russia’s ability to wage war, “OFAC identified accounting, trust and corporate formation, and management consulting as categories of services that are subject to a prohibition on the export, reexport, sale, or supply, directly or indirectly, from the United States, or by a U.S. person, wherever located, to any person located in the Russian Federation, pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 14071.”
The Latest on the Delaware Division of Corporations
The Delaware Division of Corporations governs business entity formations in the state of Delaware. For millions of businesses registered in the state, they are the agency that processes annual reports and franchise taxes, UCC filings, certificates of good standing, entity formation, amendments, dissolutions and cancellations, mergers, revivals, corrections, changes of agent, conversions and numerous other requirements and filings.
And like so many government agencies at both the federal and state levels, they are swamped. Backlogs are growing. Estimated processing times are extending. Staffing has contracted, with some positions remaining open for months. The pandemic has had its impact. Employees are working overtime and weekends. Burnout is very much a real thing.
