Interested parties are invited to provide feedback on these legislative amendments from 2 to 30 July 2021.

2 The proposed changes are set out in the draft Corporate Registers (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill (CRMA Bill). They comprise 4 key amendments relating to transparency and beneficial ownership of companies and limited liability partnerships (LLPs).  These changes serve to reduce opportunities for the misuse of corporate entities for illicit purposes, and are in line with the international standards set by the Financial Action Task Force for combating money laundering, terrorism financing and other threats to the integrity of the international financial system.
