Entities – Accurate Percentage Display with Truncation

DiliTrust Legal Entity Management (LEM) now displays shareholding percentages with greater legal precision. Instead of rounding up values (which could incorrectly show a 99.99% shareholding as 100%), the system now truncates to the number of decimal places you configure — and the default has been updated from 6 decimals to 3 for a cleaner, more readable display.

✅ Introduction

In the legal world, the precision of shareholding percentages matters. A shareholder owning 99.996% of a company is legally distinct from one owning 100%. Rounding up, even by a small fraction, can create inaccuracies in official records, reports, and regulatory filings.

DiliTrust LEM now ensures that all percentage values across the platform are truncated (not rounded) to the configured number of decimal places, providing legally precise data at all times. The default display precision has also been updated to 3 decimal places for improved readability.

✋ Prerequisites / Getting Started

• No specific setup is required — this improvement applies automatically across all relevant screens and reports in LEM.
• Administrators can adjust the number of displayed decimal places in the table options for each relevant view.

⭐ Step-by-Step Guide

Adjusting the Number of Displayed Decimal Places

1. Navigate to the shareholding or holdings view you wish to configure (e.g., Company > Shareholding > Shareholders).
2. Click on the Table Options or column configuration icon.
3. Find the Decimal Places setting for percentage columns.
4. Enter the desired number of decimal places (e.g., 2, 3, or 4).
5. Save the setting. The table will now display percentages truncated to the specified precision.

Understanding the Display Logic

• If a shareholding is stored as 99.996% and you configure 2 decimal places, it will display as 99.99% (not 100%).
• If you configure 3 decimal places, it will display as 99.996%.
• On hover, additional decimal precision may be shown.

✨ Tips & Best Practices

• Use 3 decimal places as a default: The new default of 3 decimal places balances readability with sufficient legal precision for most use cases.
• Increase to 4 for complex structures: If your organization has highly fractional shareholdings (e.g., private equity with many minority investors), consider configuring 4 decimal places.
• Review critical thresholds: If any shareholding is close to a legally significant threshold (e.g., 99%, 50%, 33%), verify the displayed value is accurate after this update.

❌ Limitations & Known Constraints

• This change affects the display of percentages only. The underlying data stored in the database is not changed — full precision is always preserved.
• The truncation behavior applies across all screens and reports listed in the product specification. If you notice a screen that still rounds up, please contact DiliTrust support.

❓ FAQ

Why is truncation better than rounding for shareholding percentages?

Rounding can misrepresent legal ownership. For example, a shareholder owning 99.996% rounded to 2 decimal places becomes 100%, which is legally incorrect. Truncation always shows a value that is less than or equal to the true value, avoiding false representations of majority or full ownership.

Has the underlying data changed?

No. Only the display logic has changed. All shareholding percentages are stored with full precision in the database.

What is the new default number of decimal places?

The default has been changed from 6 to 3 decimal places. This can be adjusted in the table options for each view.

Which screens are affected by this change?

All shareholding and holdings screens, orgcharts, and shareholding reports in LEM are updated to use the truncation logic.
