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:

​
Setting up relationships

1

Go to an entity

Navigate to Entities and select one of the entities in the relationship.
2

Open the Ownership tab

Click the Ownership tab.
3

Add a relationship

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

​
Org chart view

Open Corporate structure from the company-level navigation to see every entity in your group as a diagram, with the ownership percentages and key persons of each entity laid out as a graph. The view is generated automatically from the shareholdings recorded on the Ownership tab — you do not maintain it separately. Each node in the diagram includes:
  • The entity’s legal name and incorporation country
  • The entity type and tax classification
  • A summary of the entity’s key persons and bank accounts
Edges show the ownership percentage between a parent and a subsidiary, and highlight any link where the parent has significant control. Control-only links — where a corporate shareholder holds 0% but exercises significant control — are rendered as dashed edges to distinguish them from equity ownership. If your workspace contains entities that are not yet linked into the structure, the org chart shows a banner above the diagram listing the unlinked entities so you can attach them.

Why corporate structure matters

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
  • Beneficial ownership reporting — many jurisdictions require disclosure of indirect UBOs that arise through the structure
  • Reporting — Commenda can generate reports that reflect your complete corporate hierarchy
