Built on good international practice
Indicators are anchored to OECD/UN standards, ATAF guidance and the African Union's illicit-flows agenda — not invented in isolation.
An independent, methodology-driven benchmark of how African states detect, deter and disrupt tax-based illicit financial flows — assessed across four frameworks, scored and made comparable.
Every assessment is built bottom-up from 24 indicators of good international practice, grouped into the four pillars that determine whether illicit flows are caught — or quietly lost.

A consistent scoring model means a result in Accra reads the same as a result in Windhoek — so reform is measurable, not anecdotal.
Indicators are anchored to OECD/UN standards, ATAF guidance and the African Union's illicit-flows agenda — not invented in isolation.
Each indicator is rated on a four-band maturity scale — Nascent, Emerging, Established, Advanced — capturing direction of travel, not just a snapshot.
Indicator ratings roll up into four cluster scores and a single overall index, so stakeholders can zoom from headline to evidence in two clicks.
Every score traces back to a documented indicator, so civil society, researchers and administrations can interrogate — and improve — the evidence.
Compare frameworks, track movement between cycles, and surface the reforms that close the gaps illicit flows exploit.
