Curtailing Money Laundering and Terrorism Funding: The Key Role of Beneficial Ownership Transparency

Beneficial Ownership Register

Beneficial ownership registers reveal how companies and other legal entities or arrangements, such as trusts, are owned and controlled by their beneficial owners. A public real-time, web-based beneficial ownership register records, reports and manages beneficial owners, increasing transparency in business transactions. 

Making more of this information available to those who can use it effectively through a Register of Beneficial Ownership helps solve issues around corporate accountability and illicit financial flows. Registers of Beneficial Ownerships are gaining momentum globally, with over 100 countries committed to implementing reforms.
