Cut Through Entity Compliance Chaos and Complexity
Entity management is a responsibility residing almost entirely on the shoulders of the Corporate Secretary. For decades, many organizations have handled global entity compliance on a reactionary basis or in isolation with no real processes or controls to ensure the corporate data at the center matches the actual legal position on the ground at a local level. Providing only surface coverage, these traditional tactics of siloed data sources and local support delivered by several different vendors pose the threat of a general lack of central visibility and seriously disjointed data, making the Corporate Secretary job more difficult than it needs to be.
This is true because, up until now, most global enterprises have relied on a combination of in-house and external vendors localized to specific geographies across the globe to fulfill their compliance obligations and feed their libraries of regulatory and statutory compliance data and documents – with varying degrees of success. Yet they never achieve true data integrity, central visibility or transparency of their cross-border compliance status.
The fact is, having no reliable central data point, inconsistent local capabilities, and lack of transparency creates inefficiencies, historically hindering the Corporate Secretary’s view of global entity compliance.
Up until now, that is.
