REPORT: “Registering progress…” - An analysis of beneficial ownership transparency implementation

Almost all of Britain’s Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories (CDOTs) are still very far from delivering on a years-old promise to clamp down on financial secrecy, according to a new report.

Researchers from Tax Justice UK and the UK Anti-Corruption Coalition have used open-source data to review CDOTs’ progress on a commitment to create publicly accessible company registers by the end of 2023.

Just 8% of CDOTs analysed – one territory – has made their register public.
