Collaboration combines best in class technology and expertise to turn entity management and subsidiary governance into a strategic advantage

Diligent, a leading GRC SaaS company, and PwC UK, an industry-leading provider of audit, consulting, tax and advisory services, today announced a strategic collaboration that combines best-in-class technology with leading insights to streamline and simplify entity management and subsidiary governance, manage risk and support regulatory compliance to U.S. and UK-headquartered multinational clients.

“The regulatory landscape is evolving at breakneck speed with the introduction of new standards from bodies like the International Sustainability Standards Board, and it's important that governance practices keep pace,” said MarKeith Allen, Chief Customer Officer at Diligent. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with PwC to not only help customers efficiently manage their entities and stay compliant, but turn entity management into a strategic advantage to drive transformative growth.”

Customers will benefit from combined leading expertise and technology to help them navigate the complexities of subsidiary governance and regulatory requirements. PwC as the leading provider of global subsidiary governance services, supports clients with the full spectrum of coordinated services through their network of specialist teams. PwC’s Global Subsidiary Governance Services will be complimented by Diligent Entity & Subsidiary Management, the leading solution to centralize all corporate records to preserve data integrity, ensure legal compliance, and anticipate risks related to entities and subsidiaries that operate under an organization. Diligent Entity & Subsidiary Management was found to deliver 318% return on investment, according to a Total Economic Impact™ commissioned study.

By using Diligent and PwC’s offering for entity management and subsidiary governance, organizations can:

• Stay ahead of changing requirements and regulations impacting subsidiaries

"Corporate Secretaries must align subsidiaries with the corporate purpose and transformation agenda while managing diverse regulations," said Jonathan Gibson, PwC’s leader for global subsidiary governance services.

Kris Charik, PwC’s client services leader for global subsidiary governance said, “A key part of establishing new governance practices is using the right technology, so a collaboration with Diligent, a leader in GRC software, was an obvious choice for us.
