9th Pan-African Conference on Illicit Financial Flows and Taxation: Kenyan Conference on Fiscal Management and Revenue Collection 2021, themed "Combating IFFs to Bridge Africa's Widening Inequality Gap."

The 9th Pan Africa conference on illicit financial flows and taxation convened in Nairobi on October 25th and 26th, 2021.
