UBO and UCB
Legal ownership and effective beneficial control are not always the same conclusion.
A UBO is established when ownership or formal control can be traced through sufficient evidence and, where applicable, calculated through the corporate chain. Tevuna uses UCB — Ultimate Controlling Beneficiary — when that mathematical conclusion is not reachable but the evidence identifies who ultimately exercises or benefits from control of the asset.
- Formal ownership evidence remains clearly distinguished from analytical attribution
- Control indicators, operational relationships and historical continuity are assessed together
- Every UCB conclusion includes reasoning, references and confidence
