Relationship and Network Mapping

Purpose

Network mapping identifies and visualises the relationships connecting an entity or individual to related parties, so that a relying party can see the wider structure a single-entity check would not surface.

Scope

A network mapping engagement typically covers:

• Entity resolution — confirming that records referring to similarly named parties across different sources refer to the same underlying entity or individual.
• Direct and indirect ownership, traced through intermediate holding structures.
• Related parties, including common directors, officers and registered addresses.
• Control relationships not evident from shareholding alone, such as contractual or nominee arrangements.
• Timeline reconstruction, showing when relationships and structural changes occurred.
• Link analysis, presenting the resulting network as a structured, navigable map.

Typical commissioning circumstances

• An entity with a complex or opaque corporate structure.
• Investigating connections between multiple counterparties.
• As a component of enhanced due diligence.

Sources and methods

Mapping draws on corporate registry filings, licensed corporate and relationship data, and public records, using entity-resolution and relationship-analysis technology to connect records across sources and jurisdictions.

Deliverables

A relationship map showing identified entities, individuals and the connections between them, accompanied by a written summary of the most significant relationships and a timeline of relevant structural changes, each sourced to the underlying records.

Limitations

Mapping reflects relationships identifiable from available records at the time of the engagement. Undisclosed or informal relationships not reflected in any accessible record may not be identified.

Confidentiality

Relationship maps and findings are provided to the commissioning party only and are not published in the registry.

Review process

Where a subject disputes a relationship shown in a map, they may request review through the review and correction process.
