An update on the global professions’ public policy engagement: > Tackling corruption > International tax policy Amir Ghandar Deputy Director, Public Policy & Regulation International Federation of Accountants September 2018

Things to cover today The global fight against corruption International tax policy and public trust

Why is fighting corruption important (for the profession)? “Corruption damages citizens’ confidence in governance institutions and their supporting integrity systems, and weakens the rule of law.” - G20 High Level Principles on Corruption and Growth

Recap – impact of accountancy professionals and ethics Research – overall accountants playing positive role Professional standards adoption and tackling corruption Role of government, business, legal frameworks

Public policy engagement - what are we trying to achieve? Sensible policy and regulation Make a positive difference Help professional accountants to make a difference Some live examples – NOCLAR & IPSASs

Working with B20 and G20

Working with the international legal profession “We know criminals seek to abuse the services provided by our members to launder the proceeds of corruption and we are committed to ensuring the professions we serve are armed with the tools to thwart this abuse. We stand united in the fight against corruption in all its forms and are committed to sharing knowledge, skills and intelligence with our fellow professionals and with all agencies fighting this cause.”

Some other relevant engagement Financial Action Taskforce – Risk Based Approach Guidance for Accountants Transparency International – Accountants, anti-money laundering and NOCLAR

International tax policy - context “Another flaw is that tax sometimes works against other priorities. Policymakers in the rich world worry about growing inequality, which is at its highest level in half a century.” “Tax systems have also failed to adapt to technological change. The rising importance of intellectual property means that it is almost impossible to pin down where a multinational really makes money.” “The “solutions” to such problems often only exacerbate the daunting complexity of today’s tax code—and, if lobbies have their way, add extra loopholes too.”

International tax policy - context G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors - July Support a globally fair, sustainable, and modern international tax system Worldwide implementation of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting package Consensus-based solution to address the impacts of digitalization…on the international tax system by 2020
