Appendices of the Strikeman Elliott Report.
	2001 OECD "Behind the Corporate Veil: Using Corporate Entities for Illicit Purposes". Behind the Corporate Veil concludes that the types of corporate entities that are most frequently misused are those that provide the greatest degree of anonymity to their beneficial owners. In response, the OECD calls on governments and other relevant authorities to ensure they are able to obtain information on the beneficial ownership and control of corporate entities and, where appropriate, to share this information with law enforcement authorities domestically and internationally. Nevertheless, the Strikeman Elliott report provides a focus on the short-comings of the focus on "offshore" jurisdictions only.
