Seminar Information:
The Federal Reserve Bank
of New York held a seminar on September 20, 2006 (
), that provided: an overview of reporting requirements for
the S-Form and the various B-Forms; lists of common reporting errors
for the B and S reports; and discussions of how TIC B and S data are edited by FRS staff.
Description:
The TIC Form S is part of the Treasury International Capital
(TIC) data reporting system, which is required by law (22
U.S.C. 286f; 22 U.S.C. 3103; E.O. 10033; 31 C.F.R. 128), and
is designed to gather timely and reliable information on cross-border
purchases and sales of long-term domestic and foreign securities
by foreigners in transactions with U.S. persons. This information
is necessary for compiling the U.S. balance of payments accounts
and the U.S. international investment position, and for formulating
U.S. international financial and monetary policies.
Who Reports on Form S:
Banks, other depository institutions, securities brokers and dealers,
investors, nonbanking business enterprises, and other entities in
the U.S. who deal directly with foreign residents in purchases and sales
of long-term securities. (In the instructions, see General Instructions,
Section B "Who Must Report" for list of organizations.)
