Global Financial Integrity (GFI), in partnership with the Advocates Coalition for Development and Environment (ACODE), has released a new factsheet titled "Status of Implementation of Beneficial Ownership Laws in Uganda." This brief presents a clear and simple summary of Uganda's current legal and regulatory framework for beneficial ownership (BO) transparency.

The factsheet focuses on the major legislation and regulations governing beneficial ownership declarations in Uganda. These include significant sections from the revised Companies Act, the Anti-Money Laundering Act, and other supporting Regulations. It also describes how relevant authorities, primarily the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB), receive and manage BO information, as well as the systems in place to ensure disclosure compliance and correctness.
