Compliance, KYC and beneficial ownership: prices by jurisdiction
Starting prices excluding tax, government fees included.
What the service covers
- Establishing and maintaining the beneficial ownership register.
- Filings with central registers where they are mandatory.
- Analysis of your exposure to automatic exchange of information.
- Substance documentation to produce in the event of an audit.
In practice
The beneficial owner is the natural person who ultimately owns or controls the company, directly or through a chain of companies. Most jurisdictions require that person to be identified, a register to be kept up to date and often a filing with a central register, sometimes open to the authorities only. Automatic exchange of information reports a company's financial accounts to the country of residence of those who control it. A missing or false filing is penalised, and often blocks transactions at the registry as well as at the bank.
Framework and documents
The standards are those of the FATF (Recommendations 24 and 25 on the transparency of legal persons and arrangements); automatic exchange of information follows the OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS). Documents usually requested: ownership chart, identity and proof of address of each beneficial owner, register of shareholders.
