No effort should be wasted when trying to protect your company’s most valuable asset: its reputation. The quickest way to check the background of potential business partners is not always the most thorough. At MultiLatin, we try to mitigate the risk of partnering with companies in order to avoid exposure to corruption and organized crime, as well as comply with international regulations such as the FCPA and UK Bribery Act.

In a business environment that is becoming more and more specialized, outsourcing or in-plants represent a trend in some of the most important sectors, such as technology, professional services and logistics, as well as in supply chain management. This is why MultiLatin has developed a robust third party screening program backed by our high standards for completion and delivery.
Companies are potentially exposed to risk as a result of unethical behavior by their clients. MultiLatin can develop screening processes that complement corporate “know your customer” programs in order to mitigate such risks.
