As part of Council of Europe’s efforts aimed at strengthening capacities of anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT), this international conference represents a significant inter-regional initiative related to four programmes in two regions: South East Europe (SEE) and Eastern Partnership (EaP). The Conference will be addressing transparency of beneficial ownership and related issues of misuse of legal entities and arrangements. Moreover, it is expected to provide a road map for compliance with international standards and the required transparency of beneficial ownership information.

The international conference on “Transparency of Beneficial Ownership” represents one step forward in developing a common understanding of the European and international standards, comparative practices related to transparency of beneficial ownership, and the required future steps through due diligence and registry policy solutions.
