Providing a certified ownership and organizational structure chart

To provide your organizational chart, check that:

  • The structure has been certified and dated within the last three months.
  • The structure contains the names and percentage ownership of all shareholders/beneficial owners.
  • The structure drills down to a natural person or government entity.

The certification must be performed by a chartered accountant, solicitor, notary, or board member. It must include details for the person who certified the copy of the structure:

  • Date of certification - within three months.
  • Name and position of the certifier, including evidence of their chartered/supervised status if necessary.
  • Written declaration that the document is "a certified true copy of the original".

You may use a company or business stamp to note the date and details of the certifier.
