To prevent what? Data entry? I've also noticed that quite a few shady companies I've seen register their companies and bank accounts in Cyprus and live/operate elsewhere. I'm assuming it provides some kind of legal benefit but I don't know what.

Low tax rate, part of the EU and not blacklisted by OECD. But they do conform to EU legislation.
