3 years ago, Apartheid, Guns & Money- A Tale of Profit by @hennievvuuren, with research by @MikeMarchant13 was launched. The book is an exposé of the machinery created in defence of apartheid, sanctions-busting & the people & corporations who profited from it. @JacanaMedia
Though it's hardly surprising that the daughter of 1 of Africa’s longest serving presidents enriched herself through rigged procurement processes- Isabel dos Santos' corruption is an important reminder that the global financial economy is a key enabler of corruption. #LuandaLeaks
The #LuandaLeaks by @PPLAAF & @ICIJorg show how dos Santos built a business empire with more than 400 companies & subsidiaries in 41 countries. Many of these countries are in known secrecy jurisdictions/tax havens like Malta, Dubai, Mauritius & Hong Kong. icij.org/investigations…
@PPLAAF@ICIJorg Over the past decade, these companies got consulting jobs, loans, public works contracts & licenses worth billions of dollars from the Angolan government. The key facilitators of this included Big 4 auditing/consulting firms like @PwC, banks & law firms. #LuandaLeaks
Tax season has arrived & while SARS commissioner, Edward Kieswetter, has aptly reminded us all to pay our taxes. Why the focus on ordinary citizens when corporate tax avoidance/evasion amounts to over R7bn a year?
According to 2 groundbreaking studies on corporate tax avoidance in SA, mining companies & financial service firms are the biggest culprits of tax avoidance. This should probably be unsurprising as these corporates are serial offenders in economic crime. businesslive.co.za/fm/features/20…
Given consultancy firm, Bain & Co's disastrous restructuring of SARS which resulted in R100bn decline in tax revenue, corporate criminals should be high on SARS' agenda.
