In either case (an update or an add), I record what happend in the CompanyUpdate table (entity).

I would agree with you in wrapping the whole process in an Event object. Events are used when you need to work with more than one Business Object.

P.S. I sent you a private email about the SQL Server procedures you asked for.

Hope this helps.
