Thoughts on the Taskforce on a Transatlantic Response to Illicit Finance (TARIF):
If the US and UK wish to continue leading by example then we need to find ways to close the gaps that still remain in recent legislation that was designed to promote beneficial ownership transparency. We will have no high moral high ground to stand on if we continue to provide the getaway cars for criminals all over the world.
