Entity compliance and governance

In Law

As multinational companies expand, their corporate structures grow larger and more complex.  Growing regulatory demand for corporate structure transparency requires companies to have a firm grip on status and development of group structures. The challenge of ensuring all their legal entities comply with local company laws is a burden on legal departments across the globe.

Global delivery model

EY governance and compliance professionals are present across the globe in over 140 countries to deliver tailored compliance services.

EY global delivery model incorporates a single point-of-contact for clients as well as local specialists, regional offshore delivery centers and onshore engagement teams. This blend of resources means we are always operating in the right time zone, with the right level of expertise and with the appropriate resource costs.

EY teams can provide cost certainty for clients with a fixed fee for annual compliance as well as ad hoc work. The teams can provide an assessment framework for cost benchmarking so you can review your current spend on compliance and entity maintenance including internal and external spend. This is helping clients who find themselves under increasing cost pressure. After providing a cost analysis, EY teams can assist clients to implement a sustainable cost reduction program.

The risk based approach means that we drive predictability and risk reduction across the compliance function.
