Top speakers apply a theoretical and practical methodology to evaluate the impact of standards of global fiscal transparency on such context, in order to determine whether it should be adapted and/or supplemented by further measures. This seminar is designed both for senior national and international officials, policymakers from OECD and developing countries, and for academics (including PhD students) and practitioners of international tax law with an interest in development issues.
