Public Registries – a New Global Standard?
Following the G5 announcement, a further 40 countries have
signed up to the development of a global standard on beneficial
ownership exchange.
Jersey has committed to the standard, provided there is a level
playing field and that the international standard:
Is set up by the OECD
Is integrated with CRS reporting
Matches the CRS in satisfying the requirements of
congeniality and data safeguards
![Page 15: After the Panama Papers - STEP · Panama Papers. Presentation Title Here Date Here Author Name Here Agenda The Political Economy After the Panama Papers Public Registers – The New](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042302/5ecd3ab0e758c102e87a92b8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Problem with Public Registers:
Self Reporting
Criminal Concealment
Impact on Private Companies
First Mover Disadvantage
Unintended Criminal Activity
Human Rights Impact
CRS AEOI

The Jersey Model – Regulation of Trust and Company Service Providers:
Only regulated TCSP’s can incorporate companies for non-Jersey
residents
Legislative requirements of TCSPs

The Jersey Model – International Recognition:
MONEYVAL Assessment
Rigorous assessment process over last 18 months
Jersey compliant/largely compliant in 48/49 areas
Highest score among states assessed in the
MONEYVAL 4th
elevation cycle – Jersey at the top of
the global table
“Jersey’s combination of a central
register of the UBO with a high level
of vetting/evaluation not found
elsewhere and regulation of TCSPs
of a standard found in few other
jurisdictions has been widely
recognised by international
organisations and individual
jurisdictions as placing Jersey in a
leading position in meeting
standard of beneficial ownership
transparency.”
