    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.

    Mistoqsijiet Frekwenti dwar id-Due Diligence tas-Sħab

    p. 09 / 09
    01Meta għandna mmexxu skrining ta' due diligence tas-sħab?
    Qabel ma tiffirma kwalunkwe ftehim vinkolanti. Sejbien ta' espożizzjoni tas-sanzjonijiet wara l-għeluq jiskatta investigazzjonijiet u obbligi ta' tħassir li skrining qabel il-ftehim jipprevjeni.
    02Liema informazzjoni għandna bżonn biex niskrinjaw mira ta' M&A jew sieħeb tal-JV?
    Bħala minimu, l-isem reġistrat u l-ġurisdizzjoni tal-entità. Iż-żieda ta' prinċipali magħrufa, membri tal-bord, jew numri ta' reġistrazzjoni ttejjeb il-preċiżjoni.
    03Kif ScreenVeritAI jittraċċa s-sjieda permezz ta' strutturi korporattivi kumplessi?
    L-AI timmappja s-sjieda permezz ta' kumpaniji holding, nominees, trusts, u strutturi transkonfinali — tiskrinja kull entità u individwu fil-katina kontra bażijiet tad-dejta tas-sanzjonijiet, tal-PEP, u tal-midja avversa.
    04L-iskrining ikopri sussidjarji u entitajiet affiljati?
    Iva. L-iskrining ikopri l-kumpanija prinċipali, is-sussidjarji, l-affiljati, u l-entitajiet li jaqsmu sidien benefiċjarji komuni.
    05Kif jiġi ffurmattjat il-pakkett ta' evidenza għal deal rooms u bordijiet?
    Rapport b'timbru taż-żmien bis-sejbiet tar-riskju, l-iskor ta' kunfidenza, iċ-ċitazzjonijiet tas-sors, il-graff tal-UBO, id-dettalji PEP, is-sommarji tal-midja avversa, u l-livell ta' riskju rakkomandat — lest għal deal rooms u preżentati regolatorji.
    06X'jiġri wara li l-ftehim jingħalaq?
    Il-monitoraġġ kontinwu jsegwi bidliet fl-istatus tas-sanzjonijiet, il-konnessjonijiet PEP, il-midja avversa, u l-istruttura tas-sjieda. It-tim tiegħek jikseb avviżi awtomatizzati meta l-profil tar-riskju jinbidel.
    07Nistgħu niskrinjaw bosta miri ta' M&A jew sħab f'daqqa?
    Iva. Tella' CSV u l-pjattaforma tiskrinja l-miri kollha f'run wieħed tal-lott b'rapporti individwali jew sommarju kkonsolidat.
    08Kif din tirrelata mal-konformità tal-FCPA u l-UK Bribery Act?
    Iż-żewġ liġijiet iżommuk responsabbli għall-kondotta korrotta tas-sħab kummerċjali tiegħek. ScreenVeritAI jidentifika l-espożizzjoni PEP, il-midja avversa relatata mat-tixħim, u r-riskju ġurisdizzjonali — is-sinjali li dawn il-programmi ta' konformità jeżistu biex jikxfu.
    Termini ewlenin
    Due Diligence tal-M&A
    L-investigazzjoni u l-valutazzjoni tar-riskju mwettqa qabel ma titlesta amalgamazzjoni jew akkwiżizzjoni, inklużi kontrolli tas-sanzjonijiet, tal-PEP, tal-midja avversa, u tas-sjieda benefiċjarja.
    Konformità tal-Joint Venture
    L-obbligu li tiskrinja sħab ta' JV għal espożizzjoni tas-sanzjonijiet, konnessjonijiet politiċi, u riskju għar-reputazzjoni — sħab ta' JV jistgħu joħolqu responsabbiltà diretta tas-sanzjonijiet għall-organizzazzjoni tiegħek.
    Riskju ta' Terzi Partijiet
    Riskju ta' konformità, finanzjarju, u ta' reputazzjoni li jinħoloq minn relazzjonijiet kummerċjali ma' partijiet esterni — ir-regolaturi dejjem aktar iżommuk responsabbli għall-kondotta tas-sħab tiegħek.
    Sjieda Benefiċjarja
    L-identifikazzjoni tal-persuni fiżiċi li fl-aħħar mill-aħħar għandhom jew jikkontrollaw entità legali, tipikament li jżommu 25%+ tal-ishma jew tad-drittijiet tal-vot.
    PEP (Persuna Esposta Politikament)
    Individwu li għandu funzjoni pubblika prominenti — testendi għall-membri tal-familja u l-assoċjati mill-qrib, u tattiva skrutinju msaħħaħ taħt ir-regolamenti kontra t-tixħim.
    Espożizzjoni tas-Sanzjonijiet
    Ir-riskju li relazzjoni kummerċjali toħloq konnessjoni diretta jew indiretta ma' persuna, entità, jew ġurisdizzjoni sanzjonata — anke meta s-sieħeb immedjat mhux deżinjat.
