Since beneficial ownership registers were first introduced ten years ago, the evidence base for effective reforms that change behaviours and boost transparency has been growing. But without a central hub, this evidence has been hard to find. www.openownership.org/en/blog/meas...

By bringing together the evidence that already exists openly and in a single platform, we hope to encourage more people to engage with this topic, to attract more interest and funding for knowledge production, and to diversify the community working in this specialised field.

It also shows just how much access matters. So far, public BO registers for legal vehicles have been the most influential overall in helping produce evidence.

Open Ownership @openownership.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
However, while the collection includes material from several sectors, the distribution reveals clear gaps: the BO ecosystem needs more academic research, more government documentation, and more private sector examples to broaden its evidence base.
