A new episode of KickBack: The Global Anticorruption Podcast is now available. In this episode, I interview Gary Kalman, formerly (and at the time of the interview) the Executive Director of the FACT Coalition, and now the Director of the U.S. Office of Transparency International. The first part of our conversation focuses on the work Mr. Kalman did at the FACT Coalition on the push for new U.S. legislation to crack down on anonymous companies. We also discuss his vision, and top priorities, for Transparency International’s new U.S. office.

Great interview. I tend to agree with Kalman that a B/O registry would be effective if it were, ultimately, made public. This is especially true given the large number of businesses we’re asking to do due diligence of their customers. I’m looking forward to following Transparency International’s efforts to pass meaningful beneficial ownership reform.
