## What the amendments focus on

This dossier concerns prevention of the use of the financial system for money laundering or terrorist financing. Amendments target beneficial-ownership transparency through public registries for companies, trusts, foundations and similar arrangements, address tax havens, secrecy jurisdictions and politically exposed persons, and would prohibit cash transfers above a stated threshold. They also strengthen protection of whistleblowers and obliged entities' scrutiny of unusual transactions and tax crimes.
