Out of the grey zone: The role of professional service providers

An UNCAC CoSP Special event to highlight positive responses, potential pitfalls, and practical paths forward for Member States and professional service providers to counter corruption and illicit financial flows.

CoSP11, Doha, Special event room 5

16 December 2025

This is a hybrid event with speakers present live in Doha, Qatar, and possibility to follow online via webinar link. The speakers will present insights and explore practical steps to strengthen accountability and oversight and demonstrate how Member States and professional bodies can align AML and anti-corruption obligations in practice.

This event aligns with UNODC’s leadership of the Sevilla Initiative for Accountable Service Providers — a FfD4 follow-up initiative to close regulatory gaps, clarify ethical standards, and strengthen international cooperation in line with UNCAC and FATF standards.
