The dawn of Public Registries of Company ownership is upon us and is spreading around the globe. However, the approach to its adoption is not consistent and this doesn’t serve the global financial community well.
The Global Forum (part of the OECD) – the only international body endorsed by the G20 on issues of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes – has so far not provided sufficient clarity on this issue, instead Governments, pressure groups and other bodies are taking the lead.
The question is: will The Global Forum rule conclusively on this matter and if so what will they say?
