USA Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and UK Bribery Act, 2010 have extraterritorial reach, beyond countries of their enactment. Each of the other country where your institution has its operations or deals with third-parties, brings with it additional compliance responsibilities on your institution. These Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption laws do not allow companies to claim ignorance of a third-party paying bribes on their behalf, if they have done nothing to prevent it in the first place.
It therefore becomes essential for global institutions to effectively manage Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption operational requirements at each of the country, wherein much of the data capturing and basic level of due diligence occurs. These country-wise processes must be rolled-up at the global HQ, especially if the institution is headquartered in USA, UK, Canada and EU, in order to comply with USA Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and UK Bribery Act, 2010. This exercise further ensures alignment of processes with recommendations under OECD Convention on Combating Bribery and United Nations Convention against Corruption, which countries around the world have ratified and rely on while formulating and amending their Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption laws and regulatory guidelines.
Next generation KYCsphere’s Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption solution has been architected keeping the aforesaid legislations and guidelines in view. The solution relies on performing the basic due diligence profiling tasks for government customers; state owned enterprises as well as third-parties through Customer On-Boarding Tool. This is followed by screening these individuals and entities against sanction/watch/embargo lists with the help of Screening Tool. Next step involves determining their association with Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) with PEP Search Tool. Based on this basic profiling and initial due diligence, each of these individuals and entities are risk rated within the Risk and Compliance Management Tool and higher risks are mitigated with the help of Enhanced Due Diligence Tool.
Once the above initial due diligence process is complete, gift, travel and entertainment expense related transactions from your institution’s accounting applications are uploaded into KYCsphere’s Transaction Monitoring Tool. The transaction monitoring engine through its sophisticated scenarios and algorithms detects any expense and linked ones that point towards bribery and corruption, anywhere across the accounted operations of your institution. Suspicious transaction(s) would trigger an alert, which is presented to authorized users through Alert Management Tool, for initial investigation. Single or group of alerts that require detailed investigation, could be sent to Case Management Tool, findings of which could be escalated to the senior management for their final decision on continuance of bribery and corruption tainted internal staff, customers and third-parties. KYCsphere reporting tool finally helps you in generating reports meant for managers, senior management and your board members, along with regulatory reports, as per country-wise prescribed forms and formats. You could pick and choose the countries and tools that you would initially like to comply with and keep adding to it as your operations expand around the globe.
This feature-rich KYCsphere toolkit therefore can give your institution market agility and regulatory flexibility without any capital expenditure and with the least of IT intervention.
