    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.

    Česta pitanja o dubinskoj analizi partnera

    p. 09 / 09
    01Kada trebamo provesti dubinsku analizu poslovnog partnera?
    Prije potpisivanja bilo kojeg obvezujućeg ugovora. Otkrivanje sankcijske izloženosti nakon zaključenja posla pokreće istrage i obveze poništavanja koje provjera prije posla sprječava.
    02Koje su nam informacije potrebne za provjeru M&A cilja ili JV partnera?
    Minimalno, registrirani naziv subjekta i jurisdikcija. Dodavanje poznatih nositelja ključnih uloga, članova uprave ili matičnih brojeva poboljšava točnost.
    03Kako ScreenVeritAI prati vlasništvo kroz složene korporativne strukture?
    AI mapira vlasništvo kroz holding tvrtke, nominalne vlasnike, trustove i prekogranične strukture — provjeravajući svaki subjekt i osobu u lancu prema bazama sankcija, PEP-a i negativnih medija.
    04Pokriva li provjera podružnice i povezane subjekte?
    Da. Provjera pokriva matičnu tvrtku, podružnice, povezana društva i subjekte koji dijele zajedničke stvarne vlasnike.
    05Kako je paket dokaza oblikovan za sobe za pregovore i upravu?
    Vremenski označeno izvješće s nalazima rizika, stupnjevima pouzdanosti, citiranim izvorima, UBO grafom, PEP detaljima, sažecima negativnih medija i preporučenom razinom rizika — spremno za sobe za pregovore i regulatorne prijave.
    06Što se događa nakon zaključenja posla?
    Kontinuirano praćenje prati promjene sankcijskog statusa, PEP veza, negativnih medija i vlasničke strukture. Vaš tim dobiva automatizirana upozorenja kad se profil rizika promijeni.
    07Možemo li provjeriti više M&A ciljeva ili partnera odjednom?
    Da. Prenesite CSV, a platforma provjerava sve ciljeve u jednom skupnom pokretanju s pojedinačnim izvješćima ili konsolidiranim sažetkom.
    08Kako se ovo odnosi na sukladnost s FCPA i UK Bribery Act?
    Oba zakona smatraju Vas odgovornima za korumpirano postupanje Vaših poslovnih partnera. ScreenVeritAI prepoznaje PEP izloženost, negativne medije povezane s podmićivanjem i jurisdikcijski rizik — signale koje ti programi sukladnosti postoje kako bi otkrili.
    Ključni pojmovi
    M&A dubinska analiza
    Istraga i procjena rizika provedena prije dovršetka spajanja ili preuzimanja, uključujući provjeru sankcija, PEP-a, negativnih medija i stvarnog vlasništva.
    Sukladnost zajedničkog ulaganja
    Obveza provjere partnera u zajedničkom ulaganju zbog sankcijske izloženosti, političkih veza i reputacijskog rizika — partneri u JV-u mogu izravno izložiti Vašu organizaciju sankcijskoj odgovornosti.
    Rizik treće strane
    Rizik sukladnosti, financijski i reputacijski rizik koji proizlazi iz poslovnih odnosa s vanjskim stranama — regulatori sve češće smatraju Vas odgovornima za postupanje Vaših partnera.
    Stvarno vlasništvo
    Identificiranje fizičkih osoba koje u konačnici posjeduju ili kontroliraju pravni subjekt, obično s 25%+ udjela ili glasačkih prava.
    PEP (Politically Exposed Person)
    Osoba koja obnaša istaknutu javnu funkciju — proteže se na članove obitelji i bliske suradnike, pokrećući pojačan nadzor prema propisima o sprječavanju podmićivanja.
    Sankcijska izloženost
    Rizik da poslovni odnos stvara izravnu ili neizravnu vezu sa sankcioniranom osobom, subjektom ili jurisdikcijom — čak i kad neposredni partner nije određen.
