Compliance is part of the commercial design.
No proposed engagement advances solely on commercial appeal. Its parties, product, route, documents, payment structure and legal requirements must be capable of appropriate review.
- 01
Counterparty integrity
Identity, authority, ownership and business-purpose checks proportionate to the proposed engagement.
- 02
Sanctions & trade controls
Screening of relevant parties, jurisdictions, products, vessels and routes where applicable.
- 03
Product & document review
Attention to specification, origin, title, inspection, shipping and transaction documents as relevant.
- 04
Anti-bribery & payment integrity
No tolerance for improper payments, false documentation or unverified changes to payment instructions.
- 05
Licences & qualified providers
Regulated handling, transport and specialist work must be undertaken by appropriately authorised parties where required.
A compliance review is not an endorsement, guarantee or substitute for each party’s own professional advice and due diligence.
