Trust is earned through discipline. This page sets out the governance, ethical, and regulatory commitments that govern every insurance, escrow, and verification engagement we undertake.
Our compliance framework
Eleven policy areas covering governance, ethics, financial crime, data protection, and risk management.
Corporate Governance
A clear governance structure with defined accountability across our insurance, escrow, verification, and advisory divisions.
Board-level oversight of risk, compliance, and fiduciary responsibilities.
Separation of duties between escrow administration, verification, and underwriting placement.
Documented delegation of authority and escalation procedures for material decisions.
Regular governance reviews aligned to international best practice.
Ethical Standards
A code of ethics that governs every engagement, with independence and honesty as non-negotiable principles.
We are retained by clients and accept no direction from counterparties, insurers, or marketplaces.
Findings are reported as the evidence shows — including results a client may not want to hear.
Conflicts of interest are identified, disclosed, and managed before they affect an engagement.
Gifts, hospitality, and inducements are governed by a strict anti-bribery policy.
Anti-Fraud Policy
A zero-tolerance stance toward fraud, backed by investigation capability and industry collaboration.
Dedicated investigators trained in trade-finance and supplier-fraud patterns.
Red-flag screening on counterparties, documents, and transaction structures.
Cooperation with clients, insurers, and authorities on suspected fraud.
Published fraud-pattern research to raise industry awareness.
Anti-Money Laundering (AML)
An AML program designed to prevent our services from being used to launder proceeds of crime or finance illicit activity.
Transaction monitoring and source-of-funds checks on escrow movements.
Sanctions-list screening against major international regimes.
Suspicious-activity identification and escalation procedures.
Ongoing AML training for all client-facing and fiduciary staff.
Know Your Customer (KYC)
Rigorous client and counterparty identification before any engagement begins.
Identity and beneficial-ownership verification for corporate clients.
Counterparty screening as part of every verification and escrow engagement.
Enhanced due diligence for higher-risk jurisdictions and structures.
Periodic refresh of client information based on risk tier.
Data Privacy
Personal and commercial data is treated as a fiduciary responsibility, protected by technical and organizational controls.

Data-processing agreements with processors and sub-processors.
A designated point of contact for privacy inquiries and requests.

A structured framework for identifying, assessing, and controlling the risks we accept on behalf of clients.
Three lines of defense: operational controls, risk oversight, and independent review.
