Over 70 jurisdictions are planning automatic financial information exchange

As on October 29, 2015 the 74 jurisdictions have acceded to the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information developed by the OECD.

Under the standard, jurisdictions obtain financial information from their financial institutions and automatically exchange that information with other jurisdictions on an annual basis. The standard consists of two components: the Common Reporting Standard and the Model Competent Authority Agreement, which contains the detailed rules on the exchange of information.

The information exchange standard covers not only banks, but also other financial institutions – custodians, brokers, certain collective investment vehicles and certain insurance companies. Reportable accounts include accounts held by individuals and entities (which includes trusts and foundations). The standard includes a requirement to look through passive entities to report on the individuals that ultimately control them.

Below is a complete list of countries that have committed to automatic exchange of information and the starting dates of this exchange:
