WEBINAR OVERVIEW

The Pandora Papers, also known as, the “biggest trove of leaked offshore data in history” has exposed over 11.9 million confidential files. These files held nformation
about secret wealth and deals between the rich and powerful. They were leaked by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICI), The benefit of this leak is that it showed examples of corrupt leaders and other criminals who rely on providers of anonymously held trusts and shell companies to help them move billions  of dollars around the globe anonymously.

The millions of leaked documents exposed the details of over 330 politicians across 91 countries, 35 former and current world leaders, and countless fugitives, criminals, and other con artists. Further investigations into these leaked documents caused many countries to review their laws and change them when necessary
to avoid money laundering and other financial crimes. With these records, lawmakers can identify who are behind these transactions and could ultimately end
the offshore system. The need to understand beneficial ownership is one of the crucial impacts that the Pandora Papers will have on AML/CFT/CFP compliance.
