Appointments

Start with every role a person holds.

Record the person once and connect that person to each entity appointment. Keep current and historical roles together without flattening them into Director 1 and Director 2 fields.

  • Capture role, entity, start date and end date.
  • Link appointment evidence and review status to each relationship.
  • Support people with several roles across multiple entities.

Local requirements

Make local questions visible.

Board-composition requirements depend on the jurisdiction, legal form and facts. Keep the applicable rule and its source separate from the appointment record.

  • Identify any composition or replacement question created by a change.
  • Assign the review to someone responsible for the local requirement.
  • Record the source, review date and decision basis.

Connected authority

A title does not tell the whole story.

A person may also hold signing authority, a Power of Attorney or an external representative role. Those responsibilities need their own review when the appointment changes.

  • Connect bank mandates, POAs and delegated approvals.
  • Keep the responsible Legal, Finance or Treasury owner visible.
  • Confirm separate authority changes with appropriate evidence.

Role changes

Close the work created by the change.

Record the effective date, identify affected entities and track each required follow-up through to evidence. Entering an end date is one step in the process.

  • Confirm local approvals, filings and register changes.
  • Review external authority, KYC and access where applicable.
  • Preserve the old appointment and the completion trail.
