Christmas has come early, and you’re invited to join our latest webinar, UBOs Unwrapped, on Wednesday 22 July. It’s the gift you actually need: a practical session on Ultimate Beneficial Ownership and how to identify the real people who ultimately own, control or benefit from a company, trust, partnership or other legal structure.

UBOs Unwrapped: Ultimate Beneficial Ownership

Ultimate Beneficial Ownership can look straightforward until the ownership trail starts disappearing behind companies, trusts, partnerships and layered legal structures. This session is your chance to follow the ribbon through the ownership trail. We’ll unpack who qualifies as a UBO, what control really means, when the person signing the paperwork is just the elf wrapping the present, and when you need to keep digging until you find the real human being at the top of the gift chain.

If you work with client onboarding, FICA, compliance, administration, advice or any process involving legal entities, this is one Christmas-in-July delivery worth accepting. Fewer mystery parcels. More clarity. No re-gifting last year’s assumptions.

CPD points will be awarded to advisors who join the webinar live. So you'll get credits for being part of the session.

Agenda highlights

What Ultimate Beneficial Ownership means and why the real owner is not always the name on the paperwork.
How to follow the ownership trail through companies, trusts, partnerships and layered structures.
Why control matters, when to keep unwrapping, and how to document the process clearly.

Presented by

Jeethen Seepershad: Regional Distribution Manager, Johannesburg
