Regulators expect clear answers and a fair process.
Venovox helps you investigate possible breaches and show credible progress. We focus on facts, legal defensibility, and practical change. Our team reviews high risk transactions, third parties, and control gaps. We work with your legal and compliance leaders to protect privilege and to meet local rules.
This page explains how Venovox investigates anti bribery and corruption, anti money laundering, sanctions and export controls, and related books and records issues. It also sets out how we support dawn raid response, independent reviews, and remedial plans. You will see when to start, how we work, what you receive, and the results you can expect.
Move quickly when there is a credible concern. Early action preserves evidence and builds trust with regulators and your board.
A whistleblower report or hotline alert names a payment or a partner
A regulator request, dawn raid, or inquiry arrives
Sanctions screening flags a hit that was missed in the past
Transaction monitoring shows unusual patterns or structuring
A due diligence review reveals hidden ownership or adverse media
Audit findings point to weak approvals or false records
If the facts are unclear we can begin with a focused intake review and a short chronology. This helps you decide the right scope.
We look at payments, benefits, and decision points that may involve public officials or private bribery. We review third party agreements, marketing development funds, rebates, sponsorships, gifts, travel, and entertainment. We compare what was approved to what occurred in the field. We test high risk markets and channels and we map the control gaps that allowed risk to pass.
We test customer due diligence, onboarding steps, risk scoring, screening, and alert handling. We review sample files and look for missing documents, weak justification, and poor escalation. We assess the tuning of transaction monitoring and the quality of investigations. We confirm whether suspicious activity reports were made on time and with enough detail.
We screen counterparties, vessels, and beneficial owners. We review routing, transshipment, and payment paths that may hide the true party. We check restricted party lists, sectoral rules, and export classifications. We work with external counsel to judge the risk and to plan disclosures where required.
We test the accuracy of accounting entries and supporting documents. We look for vague descriptions, false vendors, round numbers, and off cycle entries. We compare ledgers with contracts and delivery proof. We align payment dates with key events like tenders, site visits, and approvals.
We help you prepare playbooks and brief teams. In the event of a raid we support reception, document handling, and legal coordination. We keep a log of actions and items taken. After the event we help you stabilize systems, continue business, and plan a careful internal review.
Where a regulator appoints a monitor or requests an independent review, we support planning, evidence gathering, and progress tracking. We set clear milestones, owners, and measures of success. We prepare simple reports that show how risks are being reduced over time.
We turn findings into practical change. We update policies, simplify approvals, and add detective controls. We train teams and leaders. We plan quick wins that reduce risk now and longer fixes that build a stronger culture.
We work hand in hand with your counsel. Our goal is to protect privilege, reduce risk, and foster constructive engagement.
We document instructions and separate privileged and non privileged tracks where needed. We use clear labels and distribution lists to keep files clean.
We help you plan timing, scope, and messages. We prepare briefing packs with key facts, actions taken, and remediation plans. We support voluntary disclosures and responses to formal requests.
For multi country matters we align with local counsel and partners. We respect privacy and data transfer rules and we keep a single master record so leaders see the whole picture.
