Uneven Ground: The U.S. UBO Exemption and Its Ripple Effects on Global AML

NOW ON-DEMAND
Recorded on: June 12, 2025

Dive into this on-demand webinar brought to you by Transform Finance, in partnership with Silent Eight, where we expose how weak corporate transparency enables global money laundering and what that means for communities and financial systems worldwide.

We explore the ongoing challenges with Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO) transparency since the Panama Papers shook the world in 2016. Despite global efforts, progress has been patchy.

Our expert panel also unpacks recent developments from FinCEN, including proposed changes to the U.S. Corporate Transparency Act that could exempt domestic companies from disclosing beneficial ownership, raising fresh concerns about the U.S.’s role in fighting financial crime.

Watch now to stay ahead of the shifting regulatory landscape.
