The accurate and efficient payment of funds to securityholders is a priority for may listed companies, with many making multiple payments throughout the year. This requires careful planning to ensure that payments are managed and transacted in accordance with statutory and regulatory requirements, as well as within specified deadlines. Common challenges include complexities relating to issued capital structure, tax calculations and employee share plans.
