To harness the power of beneficial ownership data to tackle corruption, we need to ensure that users can easily access & understand it.
The Beneficial Ownership Data Standard is a tool to collect, maintain and share well-structured & standardized data.

I made my maiden speech as the new MP for Kensington & Bayswater on day two of the King’s Speech debate.
Our community makes a huge contribution to national life - but we must tackle the deep inequality that holds back the potential of far too many.

Due to some world class incompetence by @royalairmarocuk I find myself stranded in Casablanca tonight. The heroes @LewishamCouncil sorted an emergency proxy vote in 14 minutes. Thank you, Jamie. #GE24

Two new policy briefings are hot off the press:
join us as we delve into defining and capturing information on the #BeneficialOwnership of investment funds. Is BO disclosure is an appropriate instrument to generate useful information for their oversight?

At today's Africa #IACC in #Zambia, our Mutale @Mr_Macharius spoke about our work to ensure that #BeneficialOwnership data from national registers is structured in such a way that it can be connected with other transnational datasets to help connect the dots of who owns what.

New month, new update.
For the first time since its launch, the UK's Register of Overseas Entities (ROE) now contains declarations for over 30,000 overseas entities. The majority of overseas entities are registered in the British Virgin Islands, Jersey and the Isle of Man.
We'll also be talking a lot - even more than usual - about data standards because using them is a critical part of how you get data working together across government departments, across borders and across the world to tackle corruption. #OOCoSP
Heading towards the next UNCAC CoSP next month, we will be talking a lot about the interoperability of BO data. We want to see strong language in resolutions on this. It matters if countries produce BO data and it can't easily be used with other countries' data. 1/2
It’s been a long journey since May 2016 when @NGRPresident committed to beneficial ownership transparency in Nigeria. Delighted to be at the launch of the register today. Congratulations to all at @cacnigeria1 for their determination and hard work. You’re inspiring the world.
