Partners and Coalitions
Global Financial Integrity has partnered with hundreds of organizations over the years promoting a range of financial transparency issues to address illicit financial flows including beneficial ownership registries, country-by-country reporting and automatic exchange of tax information among many others. Our continuing efforts to curtail corruption and kleptocracy by reducing trade misinvoicing, illicit trade and trade-based money laundering will be successful only with strong networks and partnerships. We look forward to building upon this strong foundation.
