ODI HQ Lunchtime Lecture - Can beneficial ownership data fight corruption?

Location: Open Innovations - 3rd Floor - Munro House - Duke Street - LS9 8AG Leeds

Date: Friday 27 January 2017 1:00PM - 2:00PM

Each year, over billions of dollars in illicit funds - the fruits of crime, corruption or tax evasion - pass through anonymous shell companies. Their owners remain hidden, escaping accountability and passing the costs of their illicit activities onto communities. More people have been aware and concerned about corruption since the Panama Papers were leaked in April 2016.
How can beneficial ownership data help solve these problems? Why should it be available as open data? And what are the lessons learned from the UK's first ever open data register of beneficial ownership?
