Legal drafters, policy makers, financial intelligence units, company registrars, tax authorities, law enforcement authorities, financial sector and other supervisors, procurement authorities, and relevant Ministries who might be involved in establishing beneficial ownership transparency frameworks and/or using beneficial ownership information within their jurisdiction.
Transparency of Beneficial ownership information - the real persons who own and control companies and other types of corporate vehicles - is important to combat the misuse of legal entities. This course, presented by the Financial Integrity Group of the Legal Department is designed to build the capacities of officials tasked with implementing the international standards on AML and CFT and in particular FATF’s most recent March 2022 update to FATF Recommendation 24 concerning the transparency of legal persons.
The course aims to increase participants’ understanding of the technical requirements of FATF Recommendation.24, how these should be reflected in a jurisdiction’s legal and regulatory frameworks to ensure countries hold adequate, accurate and up-to-date beneficial ownership information; consider ways to set up and manage Beneficial Ownership Registers, requirements related to identification, verification, access to and dissemination of beneficial ownership information; and how beneficial ownership information, in addition to AML/CFT, can be useful for a broad range of policy areas (e.g., procurement, conflict of interests, sanctions).
