The objective of the project ‘Joining the Dots with politically exposed persons (PEPs)’ is to enhance transparency related to beneficial ownership (BO) as well as to the interests and assets of public officials. More specifically, the goal is to support country authorities in enhancing the effectiveness of their Financial Disclosure (FD) systems and implementing BO disclosures, while ultimately contributing to their wider anti-corruption framework.
The project will achieve this by supporting users in systematically gathering, verifying and promoting the use for FD and BO data for anti-corruption purposes, developing a system that cross-matches existing datasets and generates red-flags to identify PEPs.
So far, in Colombia, we analyzed more than…
Hidden beneficial ownership of companies and lack of oversight of assets held by politically exposed persons are factors that exacerbates the risks of corruption and tax evasion. Many governments have recognized the problem and expressed the need for better beneficial ownership information and financial disclosure systems.
Lack of simple, robust and practical tools to put together publicly accessible information and cross-check/verify data on beneficial ownership and financial disclosure of public officials.
Support authorities in enhancing effectiveness of financial disclosure systems and implementing beneficial ownership disclosures, while ultimately contributing to their wider anti-corruption framework.
Through this project, we aim to identify corruption risks based on the level of involvement of PEPs in contracts/licenses granted by the government for the extractive sector.

Guided by the belief that a country’s natural resources belong to its citizens, the EITI has established a global standard to promote the open and accountable management of oil, gas and mineral resources. The EITI Standard requires the disclosure of information along the extractive industry value chain from the point of extraction, to how revenues make their way through the government, and how they benefit the public, in order to strengthen public and corporate governance.
