Official records.
Structured for your next decision.
CompanyDelta uses sourced company information. Here is how the underlying records are collected and prepared, and how they support your monitoring and investigations.

How collection worksFrom a local filing
From a local filing
to a usable company record.
the data provider describes four stages in its collection process. The aim is to make records from different jurisdictions usable while retaining their source context.
- 01
Collect from official sources
Retrieve available company details, filings, officer records and ownership information from the relevant authorities.
- 02
Standardise the information
Map local fields into a consistent schema. Prepare names, addresses, dates and financial information for use across countries. Where needed, financial filings are digitised into structured values.
- 03
Validate and connect records
Cross-check information and financial filings, resolve company identities and prepare corporate relationships. Keep relationship definitions and source context with the resulting record.
- 04
Deliver structured company data
Make records available through the data platform, API and bulk delivery, with source attribution and available timestamps.

What this means for your teamTrace the finding
Trace the finding
back to the record.
In CompanyDelta, the company record becomes the starting point for comparison and review. Your team can assess the change alongside the captured evidence.
Match the right company
Use the jurisdiction and company identifier to distinguish a legal entity from its trading name or group brand.
Interpret the connection
Keep direct shareholders, immediate parents and ultimate parents distinct. A corporate link alone does not establish a complete beneficial ownership chain.
Review what changed
Compare compatible successful records, retain the old and new values and assign unanswered questions to a reviewer.
CompanyDelta’s live checks require a configured data connection. A first successful retrieval establishes the baseline for later comparisons.
Coverage & freshnessCheck the record,
Check the record,
not just the collection date.
The useful question is whether the fields and dates available for a particular company support your decision.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Field availability | A source may publish company identity while providing limited shareholders or financial statements. Check the fields your workflow needs. |
| Source timing | Refresh schedules vary by jurisdiction and source. the data provider’s directory lists daily, weekly and monthly schedules; a single global timing guarantee would be misleading. |
| Relevant dates | Keep effective dates, filing dates and retrieval dates distinct. Financial records also need their reporting period. |
| Collection versus monitoring | A provider’s collection schedule is separate from the schedule configured for your CompanyDelta portfolio. |
| Unresolved information | A failed retrieval or an undisclosed field is a gap to explain, not evidence that nothing changed. |
