Know Your Risk: High-Risk Individuals & Entities Screening Solutions

In today's interconnected world, conducting business with the wrong individuals or entities can have devastating consequences. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) estimates that shell companies and other anonymity-enabling vehicles are used in roughly 2% of global corruption cases, highlighting the critical need for robust high-risk individuals and entities (HRIE) screening solutions. This concern is particularly acute in high-risk regions identified by FATF due to weak governance or a prevalence of financial crime.

At Consilium Advisory, we offer a comprehensive suite of HRIE screening consulting services designed to safeguard your business from reputational damage, financial losses, and regulatory sanctions associated with dealing with sanctioned entities or individuals involved in criminal activity.
