Corporate actions manages transactions that fundamentally change entity structures, ownership, and capital, including mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, stock splits, and dividends. This use case addresses modeling complex corporate actions with multiple parties and jurisdictions, tracking corporate actions over time, understanding how actions affect ownership structures and distributions, mapping relationships between entities before, during, and after actions, meeting regulatory requirements for disclosure and reporting, and supporting due diligence and financial reporting through comprehensive corporate action analysis.
