Identify beneficial owners. Prepare the transparency register filing.
Konsento’s digital Transparency Register Assistant guides Swiss companies and their advisers through the structured identification of beneficial owners and prepares the complete transparency register filing — transparent, fully documented, and aligned with the Swiss Federal Act on the Transparency of Legal Entities and the Identification of Beneficial Owners (LETA).
Choose the right solution
The Transparency Register Assistant supports companies, advisers and financial institutions in different ways — while relying on the same legal framework and the same assessment logic.
Understand the new reporting obligation — and prepare with confidence.
The Transparency Act introduces a new compliance obligation for many Swiss companies. The Konsento Transparency Register Assistant guides users step by step through the identification of beneficial owners and helps document control structures in a clear and traceable manner.
No legal expertise required
The Assistant asks the relevant questions in a clear and easy-to-follow sequence.
Visualise chains of control
Ownership and control structures are presented in a clear and structured way.
Ready for future changes
Future updates and change filings can also be prepared on the basis of a well-structured and reliable data foundation.
Guide clients through the new reporting obligation in a structured way.
For advisers, the Transparency Register will become a recurring client engagement. Konsento provides a standardised workflow to identify beneficial owners consistently across multiple mandates, document the assessment process, and prepare the relevant filing data.
Repeatable client workflow
A consistent workflow for both simple and more complex ownership structures.
Documentation for the client file
Assessment steps, decisions and supporting evidence are documented in a clear and traceable manner.
Suitable for complex ownership structures
Chains of control, intermediate entities, trusts, foundations and fiduciary arrangements can be represented in a clear and structured manner.
Structured KYC data instead of unreliable self-declarations.
The Transparency Act does not replace banks’ existing obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering Act and the Swiss Bankers Association’s Agreement on the Swiss Banks’ Code of Conduct. It does, however, create a new structured data source. Konsento helps document beneficial ownership in a clear and traceable manner and connect this information with bank-relevant KYC processes.
Chains of control instead of free-text declarations
Ownership and control structures become easy to understand through clear visualisation.
Documented assessment process
The bank sees not only the outcome, but also the documented basis for the identification.
Bridge to Form K
The LETA assessment can be used to support the bank’s internal KYC process in a targeted and structured manner.
What the Digital Transparency Register Assistant does
The Konsento Transparency Register Assistant turns a new compliance obligation into a guided workflow: from analysing the ownership structure and identifying beneficial owners to preparing and submitting the transparency register filing through Konsento. At the same time, it creates a clear and traceable record of the entire assessment process for companies, advisers and financial institutions. Because transparency register compliance does not end with the initial filing, the Assistant also provides the foundation for ongoing monitoring and future change filings.

Identify beneficial owners step by step — including in cases involving indirect ownership and chains of control.
Legal assessment logic based on LETO
The relevant legal rules are applied in a structured manner and translated into a clear, traceable assessment process.

Monitoring & change filings

From share register to filing
The Assistant guides users through all relevant ownership and control structures in a structured manner, applies the legal criteria for determining beneficial ownership, and identifies the persons subject to the reporting obligation under LETA. Even complex chains of control involving multiple intermediary entities, different forms of ownership and various legal entities are analysed and documented in a clear and traceable way. At the same time, Konsento documents every assessment step, prepares the complete filing data, and submits the transparency register filing through Konsento.
