Corporate structure

If your company has multiple entities with ownership or operational relationships, you can map your corporate structure in Commenda.

Relationship types

Commenda supports the following relationship types between entities:

Relationship	Description
Parent / Subsidiary	One entity owns or controls another
Joint venture	Two or more entities share ownership of a venture
Sister company	Entities that share a common parent
Affiliate	Entities with a business relationship but not direct ownership
Supplier / Customer	Entities with a commercial trading relationship
Mergers & Acquisitions	Entities involved in M&A activity

Go to an entity

Navigate to Entities and select one of the entities in the relationship.

Open the Ownership tab

Click the Ownership tab.

Add a relationship

Click Add relationship and select the other entity and the relationship type.

Defining your corporate structure is important for:

Transfer pricing — intercompany transactions require documentation when entities are related
Compliance — some jurisdictions have specific filing requirements for parent-subsidiary relationships
Reporting — Commenda can generate reports that reflect your complete corporate hierarchy
