How can companies prepare today for the new obligations under the Transparency Act?
Antwort
The Transparency Act will come into force in mid-2026, but it is worth preparing now: Companies should review their ownership and control structures, document chains of participation and clearly record all beneficial owners. With Konsento's digital share register, this data can already be mapped in a structured manner, reviewed and prepared for future reporting to the transparency register – in a legally compliant and efficient manner.

Is the Communication Generator free to use?
Yes. The Communication Generator is free to use.
Does every shareholder or member qualify as a beneficial owner?
No. The fact that a company requests information from a shareholder or member does not automatically mean that this person is a beneficial owner. Indirect structures, acting in concert and other means of control may also be relevant.
Does the Communication Generator identify the beneficial owners?
No. The generator supports communication and information gathering. The actual assessment of who qualifies as a beneficial owner and who must be reported to the transparency register takes place afterwards. Konsento’s Transparency Register Reporting Assistant can be used for this assessment.
