How we help

Computershare help you establish an effective global entity governance framework, fulfil compliance obligations, and improve stakeholder engagement across your footprint. You gain insight and assurance that group entities are under control and risks are not only understood but well managed.

  • Computershare will diligently manage your statutory compliance obligations in more than 120 jurisdictions. With in-country expertise and dedicated central contacts working on your behalf, we’ll undertake the time-consuming management of your global subsidiaries, ensuring everything is compliant with local rules and regulations and reflected accurately in GEMS, our Global Entity Management System.

  • Sometimes, it's helpful to get an external view of how well your governance framework supports your business. We can help you to review your parent and subsidiary board frameworks, Cosec effectiveness and broader subsidiary governance frameworks. We can also benchmark cosec teams' maturity against best practice. Our reviews help you protect what's working well, as well as identify areas for development. And we can support you in implementing any development actions.

  • Data accuracy is a must - your subsidiary management programme is only as good as its data. When your data is accurate (and you can see and prove it easily), governance risk across your global framework is mitigated. Our dedicated team of data governance experts work on your behalf to rigorously check, upload and maintain documents in GEMS, giving you confidence that your information is accurate and up to date.

  • If you have US entities, you'll need a trusted Registered Agent. As one of the largest registered agents in the U.S., Computershare undertakes the active management of relevant compliance obligations. You will have a dedicated account manager and complete transparency. This is another way we provide you with confidence that your entities remain in good standing and risks are mitigated.

  • It doesn't matter what platform you currently use to manage your entities - you still need to understand that things are as they should be. Computershare's Entity Health Check service follows a unique four-step process to source, assess, report and resolve issues any issues, right across your group. The health check is delivered entirely through GEMS, and undertaken by a global team of governance experts - giving you confidence that nothing's missed. And the resulting picture gives you a risk-based, prioritised action plan.

  • When going through time-sensitive group reorganisation or transactions, things change. In some cases, the structure becomes bigger, in others you may be faced with an entirely new management challenge. At this point, you'll need an experienced, expert team on your side. Computershare provides a high standard of technical support and hands-on project management to help you efficiently plan and implement actions to achieve your strategic outcomes.

  • Our team has deep and varied experience in helping boards (at parent and subsidiary levels) run better. We provide board meeting support, director training and development and board governance framework development to help improve information flows between Management and Boards. We also support key events/transactions and help with reporting and disclosures. And of course, we support Company Secretariats with either interim or outsourced support.

  • Technology plays a critical role in effective governance by presenting opportunities to work smarter, save time, manage risk and create value for your business. Computershare help transform and enhance your approach to governance through better use of their technology. Our combination of entity management knowledge across industry systems, continued innovation, and both governance and technology expertise, means you can optimise the role of technology and get the true value out of your systems.
