DILIGENCE FOR REPORTING COMPLIANCE

When multiple teams contribute, checking every report against every rule takes time.

Diligence maps every legal and listing requirement that applies to your report, then checks each business unit's draft against the ones that govern it — so the review takes minutes instead of days, and nothing slips through because someone ran out of time.

A TYPICAL REPORTING CYCLE

Sound familiar?

Every business unit sends in its section — finance, operations, ESG, legal, the subsidiaries. Somebody then has to read all of it against the listing rules, the governance code and the disclosure checklist, working out which requirement applies to which paragraph and chasing whoever wrote it when something is missing. It takes days, it happens under a deadline that cannot move, and the sections that arrive last are the ones checked least carefully.

  • Each unit drafts in isolationNobody writing a section knows the full list of rules that apply to it.
  • One reviewer, every ruleA single person matches requirements to paragraphs by reading.
  • Days of checkingThe review takes longer than the drafting it reviews.
  • The last section gets the leastWhatever arrives late is checked in whatever time is left.
WHAT GOES WRONG

What we hear most.

Five business units send in their sections, and one of us checks the lot.

THE COST

What manual checks cost.

Time lost

Legal and company-secretarial teams spend days reviewing drafts.

Rules missed

Requirements are manually matched across reports and rulebooks.

Risk delayed

Gaps emerge late, when changes are hardest.

THE ALTERNATIVE

Every requirement mapped, so the checking takes minutes rather than days.

Behind Diligence, AI agents hold the full set of rules that apply to your report and match each business unit's draft to the requirements that govern it — so reviewers confirm what is covered instead of working it out from scratch.

FAQ

Common questions.

What corporate-governance use cases does Diligence support?

Diligence supports listed-company disclosure compliance and broader corporate governance and board compliance. It helps organisations monitor requirements, manage checklists, align disclosures to rules, organise evidence, and coordinate approvals.

How does Diligence support listed-company disclosure compliance?

Diligence can monitor listing-rule changes, identify potential disclosure gaps, support review of annual reports, interim reports, and announcements, and preserve evidence of review and approval. This helps teams manage tight reporting cycles more consistently.

Can Diligence help coordinate disclosure reviews across departments?

Yes. Finance, investor relations, legal, ESG, company secretarial, and business-unit contributors can work through defined workflows. Diligence helps organise inputs, reviewer comments, evidence, approvals, and outstanding actions in one controlled process.

How does Diligence support boards and committees?

Diligence can help teams manage governance checklists, delegated-authority requirements, policy and control mappings, meeting evidence, approval records, and reporting. It gives company secretarial and board-office teams greater visibility over obligations that may otherwise sit across calendars, spreadsheets, and document folders.

Can Diligence help evidence governance compliance?

Yes. It creates structured records of requirements, documents reviewed, decisions, approvals, actions, and accountable owners. This can support internal oversight, committee reporting, audit preparation, and responses to regulatory or exchange scrutiny.

Is Diligence suitable only for listed companies?

No. While listed companies can use it for disclosure and listing-rule compliance, the platform can also support private companies, regulated businesses, and organisations with complex board, committee, policy, and governance obligations.
