Trust and Company Service Providers (TCSPs) are vital to corporate structuring, trust management, and financial services, but they are also a high-risk target for financial criminals. Shell companies, nominee directors, offshore accounts, and complex corporate networks have been used in some of the world’s largest money laundering scandals.
