Financial Transparency Coalition

In the first newsletter of 2016, we cover a range vital financial transparency issues, from the OECD’s invitation to invite developing countries to join its anti-tax avoidance to a host of great new research projects from FTC Allied Organizations in Asia. Have a look inside and catch up on the latest in financial transparency news!

In the final newsletter of 2015, we recap the adoption of the BEPS and Automatic Exchange projects by G20 leaders at the Antalya Summit, welcome new Allied Organizations to our network, and look at some other important developments in the last two months of the calendar year. 

The past few months have been busy, to say the least. From the Financing for Development conference in July to September’s SwissLeaks Reviewed project and our 6th Financial Transparency Conference in October, there’s a great deal that has been happening in the effort to stem illicit financial flows.

This edition of the FTC newsletter offers a rundown on the African Union’s adoption of the High Level Panel on Illicit Financial Flows report, as well as the European Parliament formally adopting the 4th Anti-Money Laundering Directive, the FTC’s ongoing work towards the UN Third Financing for Development Conference, and a preview of our upcoming conference
