The year 2018 was an important milestone for Indonesia. The principle of recognizing the beneficial owners of corporations has been implemented through Presidential Regulation No. 13 of 2018 on the Implementation of the Principle of Recognizing Beneficial Owners of Corporations in the Context of Preventing and Eradicating the Criminal Acts of Money Laundering and the Criminal Acts of Financing Terrorism.
