| dc.description.abstract | In 2024, Sri Lanka proposed an amendment to the Companies Act introducing a Beneficial Ownership register. The proposed register fails to meet International Monetary Fund and Financial Action Task Force commitments in two key ways as it lacks mechanisms to verify Beneficial Ownership information and restricts public access. As proposed, the law governing the register will fail to comply with the expected international standards. | en_US |
