Whatever your organizational structure, we can provide seamless entity management services, keeping your entities in good standing and avoiding penalties and breaches.
1. Health checks
Corporate health checks validate corporate data and the compliance status of group entities. The health check reviews data held internally and compares it with data held in local public records and local statutory records to match all data sources. As an output, EY teams provide you with a risk assessment to distinguish between material and non-material issues, along with a detailed remediation plan. Acquisitive clients, those with a complex group structure or organizations seeking due diligence assurance can all benefit from this service.
