[ RISK ADVISORY ]

You know their invoices. Do you know their owners?

Most supplier bases grow through acquisition, referral and habit — rarely through verification. We build the tiered, defensible view your audit committee actually needs.

[ HOW IT WORKS ]

A four-stage review, start to board report

Each stage produces a discrete, auditable artefact — nothing is verified verbally and left undocumented.

[ 01 ]

Consolidate

We pull the full counterparty list from finance, procurement and legacy systems — no partial exports.

[ 02 ]

Verify ownership

Cross-reference against CIPC records, beneficial ownership disclosures and known related-party structures.

[ 03 ]

Score exposure

Each counterparty is weighted against a model built for your balance sheet, not a generic risk template.

[ 04 ]

Report to the board

A tiered report with named flags, not a colour-coded spreadsheet nobody reads past page two.

  • FICA and sanctions-list screening
  • Credit bureau exposure and payment history review
  • Related-party and common-directorship flagging
  • Tiered risk scoring model calibrated to your sector
  • A board-ready report with named recommendations, not a raw data dump

Audit committees, CFOs preparing for a listing or refinance, and boards responding to a specific incident or acquisition.

We flag it immediately, in writing, to the named contact — we don't hold findings back for the final report.
