Do all trades get reported to some agency of the government (including those done in private rooms)?

Do companies themselves know who owns their shares (including those done in private rooms)?

If the answer is no to either or both of the above, doesn't that create all sorts of ownership problems? As an analogy, I'm imagining a country where there is no reliable municipal property registry, and no one knows who owns a particular house. Wouldn't that create chaos?
