    Key finding

    The beneficial owner, V. Sorokin, is identified as a Politically Exposed Person (PEP) and has an indirect connection to an entity designated under OFAC SDN. This finding does not appear in the surface-level entity check.

    PEP alert & enforcement precedent

    p. 04 / 09

    A politically exposed beneficial owner, indirectly linked to a sanctioned counterparty — the exact fact pattern behind the largest M&A compliance penalties on record.

    Alert — Layer 4Ownership chain — BVI entity

    PEP connection identified in ownership chain — V. Sorokin, Layer 4, BVI entity. Indirect exposure to OFAC SDN designated counterparty.

    Risk classification: Enhanced Due Diligence required before transaction proceeds.

    Ofte stillede spørgsmål om Partner Due Diligence

    p. 09 / 09
    01Hvornår bør vi køre partner due diligence-screening?
    Før underskrift af enhver bindende aftale. Opdagelse af sanktionseksponering efter closing udløser undersøgelser og afviklingsforpligtelser, som screening før aftalen kan forebygge.
    02Hvilke oplysninger har vi brug for til at screene et M&A-mål eller en JV-partner?
    Som minimum enhedens registrerede navn og jurisdiktion. Tilføjelse af kendte principaler, bestyrelsesmedlemmer eller registreringsnumre forbedrer nøjagtigheden.
    03Hvordan sporer ScreenVeritAI ejerskab gennem komplekse selskabsstrukturer?
    AI'en kortlægger ejerskab gennem holdingselskaber, stedfortrædere, trusts og grænseoverskridende strukturer — og screener hver enhed og person i kæden mod sanktions-, PEP- og databaser for negativ omtale.
    04Dækker screeningen datterselskaber og tilknyttede enheder?
    Ja. Screeningen dækker moderselskabet, datterselskaber, associerede selskaber og enheder, der deler fælles reelle ejere.
    05Hvordan formateres dokumentationspakken til dealrooms og bestyrelser?
    Tidsstemplet rapport med risikofund, konfidensscorer, kildehenvisninger, UBO-graf, PEP-detaljer, sammenfatninger af negativ omtale og anbefalet risikoklassificering — klar til dealrooms og myndighedsindberetninger.
    06Hvad sker der, efter aftalen er lukket?
    Løbende overvågning sporer ændringer i sanktionsstatus, PEP-forbindelser, negativ omtale og ejerskabsstruktur. Dit team får automatiske alarmer, når risikoprofilen ændrer sig.
    07Kan vi screene flere M&A-mål eller partnere på én gang?
    Ja. Upload en CSV, og platformen screener alle mål i én batch-kørsel med individuelle rapporter eller en samlet oversigt.
    08Hvordan relaterer dette sig til FCPA- og UK Bribery Act-compliance?
    Begge love holder dig ansvarlig for dine forretningspartneres korrupte adfærd. ScreenVeritAI identificerer PEP-eksponering, bestikkelsesrelateret negativ omtale og jurisdiktionel risiko — de signaler, disse compliance-programmer eksisterer for at opdage.
    Nøglebegreber
    M&A Due Diligence
    Undersøgelsen og risikovurderingen udført før gennemførelsen af en fusion eller et opkøb, herunder tjek af sanktioner, PEP, negativ omtale og reelt ejerskab.
    Joint Venture Compliance
    Forpligtelsen til at screene JV-partnere for sanktionseksponering, politiske forbindelser og omdømmerisiko — JV-partnere kan skabe direkte sanktionsansvar for din organisation.
    Tredjepartsrisiko
    Compliance-, finansiel og omdømmemæssig risiko, der opstår fra forretningsforbindelser med eksterne parter — tilsynsmyndigheder holder i stigende grad dig ansvarlig for dine partneres adfærd.
    Reelt ejerskab
    At identificere de fysiske personer, der i sidste ende ejer eller kontrollerer en juridisk enhed, typisk med 25 %+ af aktier eller stemmerettigheder.
    PEP (Politically Exposed Person)
    En person, der beklæder en fremtrædende offentlig funktion — udstrækker sig til familiemedlemmer og nære forbindelser og udløser skærpet kontrol under antikorruptionsregler.
    Sanktionseksponering
    Risikoen for, at et forretningsforhold skaber en direkte eller indirekte forbindelse til en sanktioneret person, enhed eller jurisdiktion — selv når den umiddelbare partner ikke selv er udpeget.
