Is this effort worthwhile even with a simple shareholder structure?
Antwort
With a straightforward structure, the initial report can indeed be completed quickly. The benefit becomes apparent later. As soon as investors come on board, a shareholders' agreement is entered into, or a convertible bond is issued, the starting position changes. If the underlying data has been maintained in a structured way from the outset, the assessment can then be updated rather than rebuilt from scratch.

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.
