What is UBO?

Jurisdictions all over the world compile and manage their knowledge of who really exercises control over local legal entities using ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) registers to keep record of who is the ultimate beneficiary.

Because the detailed compliance processes – legal definitions, information requirements, reporting deadlines – all vary widely from one jurisdiction to another, global UBO compliance is very complicated.
