Back to Forensic Accounting & Investigations

Third-party intermediaries (agents, distributors, consultants, sub-contractors, joint-venture partners) are the single largest source of corruption and sanctions-violation enforcement, because most regulatory regimes treat the principal as strictly liable for the conduct of its third parties.

This report sets out the third-party-risk framework in your chosen jurisdiction and industry: the legal standards for principal liability, the due-diligence expectations regulators have made explicit (FCPA Resource Guide, UK Bribery Act guidance, equivalents), and the contractual provisions that meaningfully transfer risk.

It documents the scenarios that have produced enforcement, the warning indicators in your current third-party population, the financial impact ranges, and the due-diligence, contracting and ongoing-monitoring framework, with explicit triggers for engaging anti-bribery or sanctions counsel.
