The webinar is for you if at least one of these is your question

Among your suppliers there are companies you have never seen in the flesh: services, marketing, consulting, transport.

Your counterparty has become a subject of a criminal case, and its director holds a conviction for fictitious business.

You have had requests about the transactions with particular suppliers in past years.

Your check of a counterparty stops at an extract from the register before the contract is signed.

You want to understand how not to become a "client of a conversion centre" in the file of the investigation.

Programme

The real cases of the year: expenses inflated by tens of millions of hryvnias through services that never happened, transactions with enterprises bearing the marks of fictitious business whose directors have been convicted under Article 205-1.

How the investigation proves that no goods moved: forensic economic examinations, analysis of the resources of the counterparty, bank statements, interrogations.

The chain "your counterparty, a client of a conversion centre, you as a subject of the case": the conversion centres uncovered ran turnovers in the billions and served hundreds of real sector enterprises.

The classification: Article 212, Article 209, the articles on officers for those who signed.

A due diligence file that really works in the criminal dimension: the depth of the check, documenting the business purpose, recording the actual performance.

What to do when the transactions with a "toxic" counterparty are already in the past: the strategies for minimising the risk.
