About/Governance and compliance
Governance and Compliance
Four questions we ask before every signature, and the checks behind them.
Compliance
Counterparty due diligence
Before any offer becomes a contract, we need to know who we are dealing with. We ask the same of ourselves.
- Company registration and authorised signatories
- Beneficial ownership and source-of-funds review
- Sanctions and restricted-party screening
- Bank confirmation of the payment instrument
- Records kept for every transaction
Conduct
Four questions before every signature
- Do we know exactly who the counterparty is, and who owns it?
- Is the payment instrument acceptable and issued by a sound bank?
- Does the cargo, route and destination clear sanctions screening?
- Can we prove the specification with an independent certificate?
Only when all four answers are yes does an offer become a contract.
