    This page intentionally left blank OFFSHORE FINANCE It is estimated that up to 60 per cent of the world’s money may be located oVshore, where half of all financial transactions are said to take place. Meanwhile, there is a perception that secrecy about oVshore is encouraged to obfuscate tax evasion and money laundering. Depending upon the criteria used to identify them, there are between forty and eighty oVshore finance centres spread around the world. The tax rules that apply in these jurisdictions are determined by the jurisdictions themselves and often are more benign than comparative rules that apply in the larger financial centres globally. This gives rise to potential for the development of tax mitigation strategies. McCann provides a detailed analysis of the global oVshore environment, outlining the extent of the information available and how that information might be used in assessing the quality of individual jurisdictions, as well as examining whether some of the perceptions about ‘OVshore’ are valid. He analyses the ongoing work of what have become known as the ‘standard setters’ – including the Financial Stability Forum, the Financial Action Task Force, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The book also oVers some suggestions as to what the future might hold for oVshore finance. HILTON Mc CANN was the Acting Chief Executive of the Financial Services Commission, Mauritius. He has held senior positions in the respective regulatory authorities in the Isle of Man, Malta and Mauritius. Having trained as a banker, he began his regulatory career supervising banks in the Isle of Man.

Offshore funds' continue to provide an efficient, innovative means of facilitating cross-border connections among investors, investment managers and investment opportunities. They are delivery vehicles for international investment capital, perhaps the most agile of economic factors of production, leaping national boundaries in the search for investment expertise and opportunities. Traditionally, offshore funds have existed in an unregulated state of grace; or disgrace, some would say. It is a commonplace to say that this is changing, both in the domiciles of offshore funds and in the various jurisdictions in which they seek investors, investments or managers.

  • Organising the Monies of Corporate Financial Crimes Via Organisational Structures: Ostensible Legitimacy, Effective Anonymity, and Third-Party Facilitation
    administrative sciences Article Organising the Monies of Corporate Financial Crimes via Organisational Structures: Ostensible Legitimacy, Effective Anonymity, and Third-Party Facilitation Nicholas Lord 1,* ID , Karin van Wingerde 2 and Liz Campbell 3 1 Centre for Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PL, UK 2 Erasmus School of Law, Erasmus University Rotterdam, 3000 DR Rotterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected] 3 School of Law, Durham University, Durham DH1 3LE, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 9 April 2018; Accepted: 17 May 2018; Published: 19 May 2018 Abstract: This article analyses how the monies generated for, and from, corporate financial crimes are controlled, concealed, and converted through the use of organisational structures in the form of otherwise legitimate corporate entities and arrangements that serve as vehicles for the management of illicit finances. Unlike the illicit markets and associated ‘organised crime groups’ and ‘criminal enterprises’ that are the normal focus of money laundering studies, corporate financial crimes involve ostensibly legitimate businesses operating within licit, transnational markets. Within these scenarios, we see corporations as primary offenders, as agents, and as facilitators of the administration of illicit finances. In all cases, organisational structures provide opportunities for managing illicit finances that individuals alone cannot access, but which require some element of third-party collaboration. In this article, we draw on data generated from our Partnership for Conflict, Crime, and Security Research (PaCCS)-funded project on the misuse of corporate structures and entities to manage illicit finances to make a methodological and substantive addition to the literature in this area.

  • The Role of Transfer Pricing in Economic Globalization
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 8, No. 3; March 2017 The Role of Transfer Pricing in Economic Globalization Andreea Lavinia Cazacu (Neamtu), Ph. D. Faculty of Economics and Business Administration Department of Finance University of Craiova A.I. Cuza, 13, Craiova, Romania Abstract Globalization is one of the most controversial topics in the economic literature. Transactions are not just licit, the increasingly organized nature of operations and the ingenuity of organizational and manifestation forms of offshore entities have led to a continuous amplification of the globalization phenomenon. This phenomenon can be assimilated with the transfer pricing existing reason. These transfers pricing have appeared in a context where groups of companies present in several countries carry out economic activities in those countries. Equally, these prices are thought to be the key element that underlies fiscal system exploitation. Keywords: economic globalization, transfer pricing, tax optimization, offshore companies, the principle arm's length 1. Introduction Globalization has emerged since the beginning of the 21st century and is characterized by emphasizing the reduction and elimination trend of the barriers between international economies.
