Your organisational structure
If you want to submit reports as a group, you must set up your organisational structure in the reporting portal.
This allows your head entity (or controlling corporation) to submit a single report template for multiple entities in your group. Each group member must prepare a report, but you’ll be able to submit them together in one reporting template. When setting up your organisational structure, only add entities that have reporting obligations.
How to register your entity as part of a group
The details you provide in your entity profile in the portal determine if you're part of a group. This applies to both the head entity and its subsidiaries.
When you first register in the portal and enter your entity details, make sure you answer 'yes' to the question 'Are you part of a corporate group?'.
If you’ve already registered and can't see the tile Manage your organisational structure on the portal home page, you may need to update your entity details.
To do this:
- Log in to the portal and click your profile name at the top right of the first page (or the person logo).
- Select Manage profile from the drop-down that appears.
- Answer the questions and make sure you select 'yes' when asked if you're part of a group.
You should now be able to see the Manage your organisational structure tile on the home screen.
