Panama Papers: Data Dive

ONE, OpenCorporates and Transparency International UK

What’s happening?
On Monday 9 May at 7pm GMT, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) will publish data on individuals and companies contained in the <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="https://panamapapers.icij.org/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Panama Papers</A>. For the first time since Mossack Fonseca’s files were leaked, the general public will have a comprehensive view of who’s been hiding behind ‘anonymous’ companies based in secrecy jurisdictions, like the British Virgin Islands.
 
Although anonymous companies aren’t illegal, they are often used for laundering the proceeds of corruption and tax evasion. A coalition of organisations has been pushing for greater transparency about these companies, especially those registered in the UK’s Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies.
 
Join us for an evening of digging through the ICIJ data and finding any skeletons that might have been hiding in Mossack Fonseca’s closest over a beer and pizza. We’re particularly interested in data journalists and investigators to join us.
 
Who will be there?
Hopefully you! There will also be experts on corruption, anonymous companies and open data to help provide advice and tips for those participating.
 
What do you need?
While you don’t need to have a background in journalism or data, it would be good if you can read some reports that explain the use of anonymous companies and secrecy jurisdictions. These can be found <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/hera-hussain/if-panama-papers-have-got_b_9620380.html" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</A>.
 
You will need to bring a laptop.
