The decision by the British Virgin Islands (BVI) to restrict access to its beneficial ownership register by implementing a 'legitimate interest test' raises significant concerns about transparency and accountability in global financial systems. While the introduction of a beneficial ownership register is a positive step, the BVI's decision to limit access to this register undermines its potential impact. Critics argue that restricting access to those who can demonstrate a 'legitimate interest' creates unnecessary barriers to transparency. The BVI's move could be seen as a way to maintain the secrecy that has long characterized offshore financial centers, potentially allowing for continued tax evasion, money laundering, and other illicit activities. This approach contrasts with global trends towards greater transparency, as seen in the EU and other jurisdictions where beneficial ownership registers are fully public. On the other hand, supporters of the BVI's decision might argue that this approach balances transparency with privacy concerns, protecting the personal and financial information of legitimate business owners from unwarranted exposure or misuse. The 'legitimate interest test' could be seen as a safeguard against the misuse of information while still providing access to authorities and entities with a justified need for it. However, the broader context suggests that this move may be more about protecting the BVI's position as a competitive offshore financial center rather than genuinely advancing transparency. The UK's pressure on its Overseas Territories to implement fully accessible registers was driven by the need to combat financial crimes more effectively. By not fully complying, the BVI risks being perceived as a jurisdiction that prioritizes business interests over global efforts to enhance financial transparency. In conclusion, while the implementation of a beneficial ownership register in the BVI is a step in the right direction, the restrictions imposed by the 'legitimate interest test' could severely limit its effectiveness. This decision may be seen as a strategic but cautious attempt to maintain the BVI's competitive edge in the global financial system, rather than a genuine commitment to transparency. #BVI #register #transparency #moneylaundering #UK #legitimateinterest #offshore #financialcenter #flexigroup

The financial services industry is growing at a rapid pace in the MENA region. The Dubai International Financial Centre, or DIFC, is at the forefront of this change. Ranked among the top 10 onshore financial centres worldwide, the DIFC is arguably the place to be for financial service companies looking at targeting not just the UAE, but the whole MENA region. Setting up a representative office in DIFC is one of the ways of testing the waters, before deciding on taking on a full-fledged license. 📽️Do watch the Video about Representative Office License in the DIFC - 10 Leaves: https://lnkd.in/gM9iVwFp #10Leaves #DIFC #RepresentativeOfficeLicense #MENAregion

Three of my clients maxed out their First Home Savings Account eligibility of $16,000 but each one did it differently. One deposited $8,000 in November 2023 and another $8,000 on Tuesday, the second deposited $4,000 four times over the course of eight months while the third person started with a deposit of $2,000 and then invested $500 bi-weekly. Now they are all set until the next $8,000 of eligibility is available in January 2025. No matter what saving strategy you employ, using the FHSA as part of your Financial Flight Plan is a smart decision. #fhsa #investing #finances #housepurchase

📜 The History and Misunderstanding of EUOs EUOs have been around since 1884, but over time, their true purpose and application have often been misunderstood, misinterpreted, and misused. The best analogy? The classic telephone game. 📞 In the game, a message is whispered from one person to the next, and by the time it reaches the last person, it has changed completely. This is what has happened with EUOs over the years. Lawyers, claims professionals, and various stakeholders have all played a role in interpreting, misunderstanding, and misusing the EUO. 🔄 🔗 The True Purpose of EUOs: Originally, EUOs were designed to be a shield—a protective measure under the policy. 🛡️ However, many have used them as a sword, taking advantage of their strong policy right. This misuse has led to misconceptions and myths about EUOs. 🧠 Dispelling the Myths: Our goal is to dispel these myths and clarify the true purpose and application of EUOs. Understanding the protection they offer and how to use them correctly in practice is essential for all involved in the claims process. 🤝 Join the Conversation: Let's work together to understand and apply EUOs correctly. It's time to set the record straight and ensure that EUOs serve their intended purpose—as a protective measure in the claims process. #EUOTraining #Claims #SIU #Insurance
