call03 9948 4089Resolving ultimate beneficial owners traces a business entity's shareholding relationships out to the natural persons behind it. Indirect ownership through other companies is followed, each person's stake is aggregated across every chain, and a threshold is applied. Every business that could not be fully traced is disclosed regardless of its stake.
For the technical detail, go to the API documentation. It holds the request and response schema, the integration guides and the error codes for this endpoint.
New accounts begin with sandbox access.
A beneficial owner answer is two things: the people above the threshold, and an honest account of what could not be traced. This call returns both, evaluated as at a date you choose.
Each confirmed owner at or above the threshold with their aggregated percentage and the ownership chains that contribute to it, naming the intermediary businesses on each chain.
Every business whose ownership could not be fully traced, with the stake flowing through it, the untraced share, and the reason: no ownership data, an unknown percentage, incomplete ownership, circular ownership or maximum depth reached.
Fully traced is true only when there are no data gaps, circular detected is true when a loop was found, and applicable is false for any entity that is not a business.
Relationships are declared on entities. This call walks the shareholding relationships from the business outwards, through holding companies and trusts, until natural persons remain, then applies the threshold.
The threshold defaults to 25% and only filters the confirmed owners list; data gaps are always reported. Ownership is evaluated as at today unless an as of date is supplied.
Create a relationship on an entity records the shareholdings this call walks. List an entity's relationships shows them. Show an entity reads the business at the top.
Sandbox accounts are provisioned by your Global Data account manager. API keys are created and managed in the WatchEye portal, and the same endpoints serve sandbox and live; the account behind the key decides which environment you are in.
