Boston Transparency Symposium

Boston Transparency Symposium

Boston Transparency Symposium

Mercer will host a Transparency Task Force (TTF) symposium entitled “Time for Transparency.”

The Symposium will be held on: Thursday 28th September 2017.

The venue will be: Mercer Boston, 99 High Street, Financial District Boston, Massachusetts, USA. 

Dr. Kara Tan Bhala, President of Seven Pillars Institute, is a member of TTF and is pleased to be involved in the work of the task force.

About the Transparency Task Force

The organization is the collaborative, campaigning community, dedicated to driving up the levels of transparency in financial services, right around the world. Members of the Transparency Task Force believe that higher levels of transparency are a pre-requisite for fairer, safer, more stable and more efficient markets being able to deliver better value for money and better outcomes to consumers. Furthermore, because of the correlation between transparency, truthfulness and trustworthiness, we expect our work will help to repair the self-inflicted reputational damage the Financial Services sector has been suffering for decades.
