The assessment is being carried out. To be honest, I have not seen it. It pertains to the larger piece of legislation.

I will say that the only certain way of finding beneficial ownership is through a person's liability to tax and their PPS number. This information gives a name and address and verification and that is why we are putting such emphasis on it. There are difficulties around the privacy of a person's PPS number but we have done an assessment on it. We collaborate with the Department to verify who a person is and where he or she lives.
