UBS plans 'transparency report'

Will address losses during crisis and provision of hidden offshore accounts to wealthy Americans

UBS is set to give shareholders more insight into how it nearly collapsed under the weight of billions in toxic securities in 2008, but the Zurich-based bank's efforts to quell fury with former managers may fall short of some investors' expectations.

UBS chairman Kaspar Villiger will present shareholders today with a "transparency report" addressing UBS' financial losses during the global meltdown, but also detail problems linked to providing hidden offshore accounts to wealthy Americans.
