Key conclusions

icon-information-exchange
The UK was capable of responding to most requests in a timely manner, and the majority of its partners praised the working relationship established with the UK competent authority.
icon-regulations
While the UK has been one of the first jurisdictions to implement a register of beneficial ownership information, it was found that it still needs to strengthen its supervision and enforcement measures to ensure that information recorded is adequate, accurate and up to date.
icon-audit
A key area for improvement refers to the scope and practical implementation of the powers to access information, as the formal process to access information from third parties continued to delay effective exchange of information and occasionally created an undue burden to the UK’s partners.
