Transparency in payments to Governments

摘要

The Resource Revenue Transparency Working Group (the "Working Group") released its final recommendations for the creation of mandatory transparency standards. These would see mining companies traded on Canadian stock exchanges publicly disclose payments to governments. The Working Group, consisting of the Mining Association of Canada, the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada, Publish What You Pay Canada and the Revenue Watch Institute, was formed in September 2012. Its objective is to improve transparency in the mining sector in Canada and overseas.
