More details about this webinar:
The beneficial ownership requirements in Canada have been evolving, with new regulations, guidance and government initiatives to ensure relevant information is more accessible. These requirements will continue to expand, given international expectations and a flurry of public reports about snow washing in Canada.
We are thrilled to have Transparency International Canada as a panelist that will share news and plans around their work in Canada on Beneficial Ownership. Transparency International is a movement that works relentlessly to stir the world’s collective conscience and bring about change. Check out their recent news coverage around property transparency in BC’s real estate industry, that garnered national attention.
Topics we will cover in this webinar:
A recap of the current state of beneficial ownership requirements in Canada, with a focus on FINTRAC’s recent guidance.
