A manufacturing or product group may have a production entity, a brand or IP owner and one or more sales companies. This review checks how components, finished goods and licences move between them and whether the documentation matches the movement.
If a factory entity sells to a brand entity, which sells to local sales companies, ownership of the goods changes several times before a customer sees them. Each hand-over is a sale between related parties. The review shows the sequence for your main product line and where documents, payments or registrations are missing.
Typical flow: Factory invoices brand or sales entities. What the review asks: How the intra-group price is set and documented.
Typical flow: Materials are supplied to the factory, which returns finished goods. What the review asks: Who owns the materials while abroad, and what the paperwork says.
Typical flow: Brand entity buys finished goods directly. What the review asks: Which entity is the buyer, and whether components are bought separately.
Pricing between related entities and customs treatment belong to specialist advisers; we list where those questions arise.

Which entity answers to customers and which actually produced the goods are not always the same.
