Ownership, NCI & equity pickup Ownership changes recorded with their accounting basis

Ownership changes captured from board papers and legal documents, and written up as cited memos.

How Spaces helps

Your system uses ownership percentages to drive NCI and equity pickup. Agents record the decisions behind each change as cited memos linked to the affected entities.

Still manual today The reasons behind ownership changes and their accounting treatment are recorded outside the system.

Example MarketCo MY stake rises from 80% to 90% on 1 Sep: NCI falls from MYR 4.40M to 2.20M, with the share purchase agreement and board minute cited.
