This is:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Tackling the Shadow Financial System<br \/>\nA Working Plan for the G20<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>October 6-7 | Cercle National des Arm\u00c3\u00a9es | Paris, France<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As the Task Force says:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>The 2011 annual conference of the Task Force on Financial Integrity and Economic Development will take place at the Cercle National des Arm\u00c3\u00a9es in Paris, France from October 6-7.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>Illicit financial outflows\u00a0from developing countries\u2013which total around $1.3 trillion per year\u2013undermine the tax base in\u00a0poorer countries, eroding\u00a0the accountability that is essential for good governance and global stability. The same opacity that facilitates these flows is also partly responsible for the budget crises that are plaguing governments in developed countries,\u00a0which the G20 has been trying to address. The key to curtailing these illicit flows is\u00a0transparency. Specifically, the\u00a0G20\u00a0should adopt recommendations in its communiqu\u00c3\u00a9 that would increase the flow of information between\u00a0multinational corporations, governments, and citizens \u2014 across developing and developed countries. Such financial transparency is the key to limiting future crises and to promoting economic growth across the world.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers and panelists at this year\u2019s conference will address the implications of and solutions to the shadow financial system, including: country-by-country reporting, beneficial ownership of accounts, automatic exchange of tax information, curtailment of trade mispricing, and tax evasion as a predicate offense for anti-money laundering. Breakout sessions will focus on the 2011 Financial Secrecy Index, illicit trafficking, socially responsible investing, media messaging, the \u201cArab Spring\u201d, and more. Together, speakers and participants will craft a message to the G20 member governments ahead of the November 2011 French summit on how they can address the global ills that result from illicit financial flows.<\/p>\n<p>Click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/org2.democracyinaction.org\/dia\/track.jsp?v=2&amp;c=rhGg0yYcW%2BmdJgK0zNhT33rwHNlgxAtu\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to register for the conference and view a copy of the agenda.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I'll see you there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tax Research LLP is a member of the\u00a0Task Force on Financial Integrity &amp; Economic Development so I&#8217;m delighted to share the notice for its 2011<br \/><a class=\"moretag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/2011\/06\/18\/youre-invited-to-the-2011-annual-task-force-on-financial-integrity-economic-development-conference\/\"><em> Read the full article&#8230;<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,129],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-development","category-task-force-on-financial-integrity-and-economic-developm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10567\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
