An Evaluation of OECD’s Common Reporting Standard (CRS) and its alternatives
 par Andres Knobel, Markus Meinzer  

Meinzer and Knobel’s preliminary report:

• summarises the scope of the common reporting standard, including financial institutions that will be required to collect information and which will be exempt; indicates what information will be collected and what will remain secret; and explains which entities, legal arrangements and individuals are covered and which are excluded;
• reveals several loopholes in the new arrangements, including: the entities, trusts and foundations behind which individuals may hide; high minimum thresholds for beneficial ownership; limited account balance information; and the “principle of specialty”, which will prevent data from being used to fight corruption and money-laundering;
• demonstrates how the demand for full reciprocity is likely to exclude low-income developing countries; how subjective confidentiality requirements will allow each jurisdiction to cherry-pick with whom to exchange information; and why the lack of a global multilateral agreement for all jurisdictions to sign up to represents a lost opportunity
