Companies are doing business at a faster pace than ever before.
Having accurate and timely data to make key business decisions is mission-critical. It’s also true that business is more dynamic than ever before, and the boundaries for conducting that business are truly global and nearly limitless. With these blurred boundaries, it has never been more important to understand who your organization are doing business with.
Clearly identifying a business entity’s true ownership has always been a challenge. This is especially when those companies are obscured by layers of indirect ownership and affiliations. Accurately knowing your customer, and specifically, the UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Ownership) of your customer is a significant regulatory and compliance requirement. Attempting to able to quickly breakdown and decipher the actual ownership structure, linkages and relationships is a daunting task, to say the least.
