How to action
- First, you will need to:
- Create a case for a Private Company or have a case where a Private Company entity is listed in the “Structure”
- Ensure you have entered the Company Registration Number
- Then, you will need to click on the Private Company under the “Manifest” tab and go to the “Requirements” tab
- Alternatively, you can set up a Compliance Rule that ensures this requirement appears under all Private Companies
- Click “Add” and add the “Filing History” requirement
- Click 'Sync filing history'
- Once it is loaded you will be able to look through the documents (please see the example screenshot below)
Tip: If you do not have the Company Registration Number, you can quickly confirm this via the Structure tab using the Name and Registered Country:
- Once the Private Company has been added to the case (with the Name and Registered Country), under the "Structure" tab click "Start unwrap"
- The "Search and confirm" window will open and you will be able to see the Registration Number for the entity listed
- Simply close the window if you do not wish to continue with the unwrap or click "Confirm" to proceed with the unwrap
