Takeaways from the Pandora Papers data leak

Michael Sacks | 5th October 2021

The Pandora Papers is the latest (and largest) offshore data leak to hit the headlines. Like the Panama Papers (2016) and the Paradise Papers (2017) it exposes the secret offshore affairs of wealthy and powerful individuals – including more than 130 billionaires, 35 current and former world leaders, and 330 public officials.

The scale of this leak is much larger than previous ones – it comprises almost 12 million files from 14 different offshore services firms in countries such as the British Virgin Islands, Panama, Belize, Cyprus, Singapore and Switzerland – so its impact is, arguably, much broader.

A great deal will be written about the leak over the coming weeks, including important debates about the legitimacy of the tax avoidance methods that are highlighted and, in some cases, potential money laundering allegations. 

But if we strip back the famous faces and eye-watering numbers for a moment, there is an important message in all of this about getting the basics of risk assessment, CDD/KYC, monitoring, and reporting right, especially with PEPs and other high-risk clients in mind.

And, as more and more organisations and individuals release statements trying to limit the damage, it is also a sobering reminder of reputational risk.
