Pandora Papers: Lessons for beneficial ownership transparency? (Blog).  “Whilst the Pandora Papers confirm the already known problems associated with current business as usual, they also include signs of progress. It is clear that beneficial ownership information is a fundamental piece of data to aid the fight against financial crime, but much work remains to ensure data is accurate and available to those who need it.”

OGP at 10, EITI at 20: Where to next? (Blog).  “[The] differences between the mandates of the two organisations offer longer-term opportunities for shared learning. The [Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative’s] private sector constituency provides a vital strand in its multi-stakeholder governance structure with growing opportunities to strengthen corporate accountability through participation in the EITI process…[Open Government Partnership’s] goal of promoting a participatory and inclusive vision of democracy offers insights for the EITI, especially in fragile states.”
