Compliance & risk management

A structure remains robust only if it is reviewed, documented and maintained.

Complex structures create recurring obligations: filings, confirmations, substance evidence, bank updates, board records, valuation updates and legal monitoring.

Ongoing structure care

Tax

Filing and review duties

Corporate tax, income tax, VAT, withholding tax, inheritance tax and local filings must be coordinated across entities and jurisdictions.

Evidence

Substance documentation

Board decisions, contracts, invoices, premises, people, functions and payment flows must tell the same story.

Banking

Recurring KYC updates

Banks may ask for updated charts, beneficial ownership information, source-of-wealth documents and transaction explanations.

Governance

Review calendar

Family changes, asset transfers, distributions, new entities and legal updates should trigger structured review.

Risk management questions

  • Which recurring tax, legal, accounting and banking deadlines apply to each entity?
  • Who owns the document trail and who updates it?
  • Which changes trigger review before implementation?
  • Which documents must be kept for bank, adviser, tax authority and family governance purposes?
  • Which risks need local counsel or admitted tax professionals?
