    The surface check comes back empty: the entity name matches nothing across 51 sanctions sources. That is the easy part, and the part that lulls buyers into signing.

    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.

    Pogosta vprašanja o skrbnem pregledu partnerjev

    p. 09 / 09
    01Kdaj naj izvedemo preverjanje skrbnega pregleda partnerja?
    Pred podpisom katerega koli zavezujočega dogovora. Odkritje izpostavljenosti sankcijam po zaključku posla sproži preiskave in obveznosti razveljavitve, ki jih preverjanje pred poslom prepreči.
    02Katere podatke potrebujemo za preverjanje cilja M&A ali partnerja v skupnem vlaganju?
    Vsaj registrirano ime subjekta in jurisdikcijo. Dodajanje znanih glavnih oseb, članov upravnega odbora ali registrskih številk izboljša natančnost.
    03Kako ScreenVeritAI sledi lastništvu skozi zapletene korporativne strukture?
    UI mapira lastništvo prek holdinških družb, nominalnih lastnikov, skladov in čezmejnih struktur — vsak subjekt in posameznik v verigi preveri v bazah sankcij, PEP in negativnih medijev.
    04Ali preverjanje zajema hčerinske in povezane subjekte?
    Da. Preverjanje zajema matično podjetje, hčerinske družbe, povezana podjetja in subjekte s skupnimi dejanskimi lastniki.
    05Kako je dokazni paket oblikovan za sejne sobe in upravne odbore?
    Poročilo s časovnim žigom z ugotovitvami tveganja, stopnjami zaupanja, navedbami virov, grafom UBO, podrobnostmi PEP, povzetki negativnih medijev in priporočeno ravnjo tveganja — pripravljeno za sejne sobe in regulativne vloge.
    06Kaj se zgodi po zaključku posla?
    Stalno spremljanje sledi spremembam sankcijskega statusa, povezavam s PEP, negativnim medijem in lastniški strukturi. Vaša ekipa prejme samodejna opozorila ob spremembi profila tveganja.
    07Ali lahko naenkrat preverimo več ciljev M&A ali partnerjev?
    Da. Naložite CSV, platforma pa vse cilje preveri v enem paketnem zagonu s posameznimi poročili ali skupnim povzetkom.
    08Kako se to navezuje na skladnost s FCPA in britanskim Bribery Act?
    Oba zakona vas štejeta za odgovorne za koruptivno ravnanje vaših poslovnih partnerjev. ScreenVeritAI prepozna izpostavljenost PEP, negativne medije, povezane s podkupovanjem, in jurisdikcijsko tveganje — signale, za odkrivanje katerih ti programi skladnosti sploh obstajajo.
    Ključni pojmi
    Skrbni pregled M&A
    Preiskava in ocena tveganja pred zaključkom združitve ali prevzema, vključno s preverjanjem sankcij, PEP, negativnih medijev in dejanskega lastništva.
    Skladnost skupnih vlaganj
    Obveznost preverjanja partnerjev v skupnem vlaganju glede izpostavljenosti sankcijam, političnih povezav in reputacijskega tveganja — partnerji v skupnem vlaganju lahko za vašo organizacijo ustvarijo neposredno sankcijsko odgovornost.
    Tveganje tretjih oseb
    Tveganje skladnosti, finančno in reputacijsko tveganje, ki izhaja iz poslovnih odnosov z zunanjimi strankami — regulatorji vas vse pogosteje štejejo za odgovorne za ravnanje vaših partnerjev.
    Dejansko lastništvo
    Prepoznavanje fizičnih oseb, ki končno posedujejo ali nadzorujejo pravni subjekt, običajno z 25 % ali več deležev ali glasovalnih pravic.
    PEP (politično izpostavljena oseba)
    Posameznik, ki opravlja vidno javno funkcijo — razširi se na družinske člane in bližnje sodelavce, kar sproži poglobljen nadzor po predpisih proti podkupovanju.
    Izpostavljenost sankcijam
    Tveganje, da poslovni odnos ustvari neposredno ali posredno povezavo s sankcionirano osebo, subjektom ali jurisdikcijo — tudi kadar neposredni partner ni uvrščen na seznam.
