How well do you know your Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs)? The rise of sophisticated ownership structures has made it harder than ever for compliance teams to pinpoint who truly owns or controls an entity.
Our new infographic breaks down the complex web of UBO structures, highlighting the challenges that make AML and compliance efforts increasingly demanding. From layered ownership involving offshore trusts to fragmented shareholder stakes across multiple jurisdictions, the barriers to transparency are mounting.
We also explore how jurisdictional differences, data availability, and risks like fraud or anonymous entities exacerbate the difficulty of identifying UBOs. And with politically exposed persons (PEPs) or sanctions risks often hidden within these structures, the stakes are higher than ever.
Understanding these risks isn’t just a regulatory requirement – it’s essential for protecting your business. View the infographic to see the full picture and learn why staying on top of UBOs demands constant vigilance.
