​

Companies need to comply with a range of regulations, including money laundering, anti-bribery and corruption, sanctions and counter-terrorism financing laws. They are also coming under increasing pressure to consider the environmental, social and governance implications of their operations.

​

VERUM compliance due diligence reporting provides rapid insights into business integrity and compliance risks, without delay to your operations. 

​

Risks can arise throughout the business cycle, for example:

• A company may unknowingly handle laundered funds if it accepts an investment from a corrupt client or associate

​

• A multinational corporate with a long supply chain may be unaware that its representatives are paying bribes on its behalf

​

• A company may breach sanctions obligations if it does not monitor changes to the beneficial ownership of its partners

​

​

The penalties for failing to comply with integrity regulations are severe. Companies can face punitive fines and serious reputational damage. At worst, a company may lose its licence to operate or be blacklisted.
