StAR-the Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative-is a partnership between the World Bank Group and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) that supports international efforts to end safe havens for corrupt funds. This paper presents an overview of the benefits and challenges associated with transitioning from paper-based to electronic filing. While many of the experiences and practices presented can be relevant to experts from countries across all regions and income levels, the primary audience is policymakers, asset declaration/anti-corruption experts, and practitioners in middle-income countries, with a focus on countries in Europe and Central Asia. This paper provides an overview of the topic and does not aim to discuss all technical issues exhaustively.

Financial disclosure systems are a vital component of transparency. By now 161 countries around the world have introduced financial disclosure systems, becoming commonplace around the world. But, although the rules are on the books, many practitioners are still struggling with the intricacies of the rules and how to implement them in the socioeconomic, historical, and legal context of their own country. Little guidance is available to assist them. This book aims to fill that void and provide practitioners with practical scenarios to consider before deciding on a particular course of action. This book contains short chapters that elaborate each topic and provide clear guidance on the issues that policy makers and those involved in the implementation of financial disclosure obligations will need to take into account before making a decision. How do you decide who should file? And how often? On-line or in hard copy? And what exactly? Everything they own directly-or also those apartments they own indirectly? How should information in declarations be checked? Should it be shared with public? How accessible should it be? This is the sort of practical guidance that this book aims to provide.

This paper explores the relationship between two regimes for preventing corruption: the detection and monitoring of politically exposed persons (PEPs) for the purpose of combating money laundering, and asset disclosure requirements for public officials. These regimes are generally designed and implemented separately. Yet as this paper shows, an innovative use of asset disclosure tools could benefit PEP practitioners. The paper seeks to raise awareness of this potential and to connect asset disclosure and PEP practitioners.
