The 2009 conference of the Task Force on Financial Integrity and Economic Development commenced this morning at the Hilton Embassy Row in Washington, DC. After hearing from Poul Engberg-Pedersen, the Director General of the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, and Raymond Baker, Director of Global Financial Integrity, we heard from a panel of leading experts on the issue of transfer mispricing. The panel featured Alex Cobham from Christian Aid, Jack Blum from Tax Justice Network USA, Krishen Mehta from Asia Initiatives and Raymond Baker from Global Financial Integrity.
