Thoughts on the Taskforce on a Transatlantic Response to Illicit Finance (TARIF):
Illicit finance is running rampant and poisoning societies in all parts of the world. The status quo is not acceptable. The renewed energy from the US and UK is inspiring, but must be followed by meaningful action. CFCS will do its part to drive forward solutions that work. The great minds on this taskforce cut across disciplines and expertise and I have no doubt that their combined ideas will ignite real change.
