for the purpose of storing the information.<\/p>\n<p>Service providers, such as accountancy, audit, tax advisory firms and supervisory bodies, such as registry court, are required to file a report if they observe discrepancies between the beneficial ownership information that are contained in the register and the actual information available to them.<\/p>\n<p>Supervisory bodies have unrestricted
