Legal entity structures and their underlying data are core building blocks for global organizations – serving as a launchpad for business activities. Akin to an orchestra that requires its musicians to use identical sheets of music, the business can thrive when all functions such as finance, legal, treasury, as well as tax, rely upon the same source of truth. However, when multiple business functions separately track this critical dataflow, disruption can arise due to discrepancies and process inefficiencies.
So why haven’t most businesses fixed this problem? Leveraging one, ‘single source’ of information that evolves in real-time and provides ample transparency to all relevant business functions has been viewed as a futuristic, ‘would be nice’ solution. Historically there have been practical barriers for implementing this type of approach for legal entity data, such as the lack of an end-to-end automated solution that fits the needs of most or all corporate function stakeholders.
The landscape has changed and a leading-edge solution – Entity Ops – exists that can centralize and standardize the legal entity data itself, the governance surrounding the continual evolution of such data, while also meeting specific stakeholder needs. And it keeps getting better as we are continually adding more functionality that helps set us apart from other products on the market. Click here to learn more.
A ‘single source’ of legal entity data can alleviate pain points across functions, including the high risk of cascading financial errors, process inefficiencies that are a drag on strategic tasks, constant reporting pressures for an up-to-date version of data, and staff performing manual tasks when they could be doing more value-added work.
Tax and other corporate functions are balancing priorities and investing their time and resources into actions that provide recurring benefits over the long haul – not just alleviate near term burden. Taking a holistic, digital approach to core legal entity data, such as Entity Ops, can help contribute bottom-line value by, for example:
The result is a host of benefits that can cumulate year-after-year – a ‘win-win’ for the entire organization, with tax leading the way.
