Summary

First AML's 'unwrap' feature combines our entity tree builder with up-to-date company registry data from various global registries.


However, there are instances where our platform is unable to unwrap an entity structure and surface the information. This happens due to the registered country for that entity having no publicly available company information.


When this occurs, our platform still enables you to securely request the required documentation to confirm the shareholding structure and build it out digitally within the case.


For further information on the automated unwrap, see How to unwrap entities.



Step-by-step

  1. Once a case has been created, ensure that you are in the Structure tab. 
  2. Click the Edit structure or Edit button.



  3. Once clicked, you can add any individual(s) or entity(s) to the structure:



Adding an Individual

  1. Click Add individual.
  2. Enter the individual's name.
  3. Select the type of individual they are:
    • Controlling: the individual holds a controlling role, such as Director, Trustee, or Executor.
    • Shareholding: the individual holds shares; confirm their shareholding percentage.
    • If the individual has multiple roles, click Add another type to confirm their additional details.
  4. Click Add individual once all information has been entered.



Adding an Entity

  1. Click the blue circle icon with a + symbol.
  2. Add the entity name and select the entity type (e.g. Private Company, Trust, etc.).
  3. Select the entity's ownership type in relation to the root entity(the primary entity the case is being built around, i.e. the entity you're verifying):
    • Controlling: the entity has effective control over the root entity.
    • Shareholding: the entity holds a shareholding percentage of the root entity.
  4. Click Add Entity to add it to the structure
