Obtaining and more importantly verifying independently the beneficial owners of entities is crucial to ensure that proper due diligence is conducted. But that is easier said than done. How do you deal with jurisdictions where verifying beneficial ownership is impeded by lax transparency requirements? And when it comes to complex corporate structures, do you have the investigative resources that are required? Plus, how do you get the support of your own wealth management officers, who must dig into the portfolios of clients whose trust in them is based heavily on confidentiality? In this session our experts will offer insight and advice to various industries that handle the vexing task of identifying beneficial ownership.
