Neil Isherwood - Compliance Expert & Strategy Leader, Dun & Bradstreet

About this talk

Beneficial ownership registers were introduced across Europe as part of the 4th Anti-Money Laundering Directive. Since then, the 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directive made it mandatory for these registers to be publicly available. However, the European Court of Justice ruled at the end of 2022 that the benefit of public access is not proven and in fact interferes with the private lives of those on the registers. Watch this short briefing to discover the background to the ruling, the status of UBO registers since the ruling, and the impacts on transparency.
