FATF 40 Recommendations R.24: Transparency and beneficial ownership of legal persons

What does R.24 require?

Countries assess the risks of misuse of legal persons for money laundering and terrorist financing and take measures to prevent it; ensure adequate, accurate and up-to-date beneficial ownership and control information on legal persons that competent authorities can obtain or access rapidly and efficiently through a beneficial ownership register or an alternative mechanism; do not permit new bearer shares or bearer share warrants and prevent misuse of existing ones; take effective measures against misuse of nominee shareholders and directors; and consider facilitating access to beneficial ownership information for institutions and DNFBPs performing CDD. The 2022 Interpretive Note requires a multi-pronged approach combining company-held information, a public authority or body holding the information (a register or alternative) and supplementary sources, verification, sanctions, and international cooperation.
