The company management is legally obliged to implement appropriate Corporate Compliance measures. This simply means establishing an appropriate Corporate Compliance structure. Managers are responsible for the lack of pertinent Corporate Compliance mechanisms which lead to cases of white-collar-crime; under certain circumstances they are even accountable under criminal law. Therefore it is necessary to establish to which extent the company is exposed to internal and external risks, which is done by conducting a detailed risk-process-analysis.

Prevent designs and implements a Corporate Compliance manual tailored to your company’s specific needs. With this manual explicit and transparent Corporate Compliance standards are achieved and maintained. Furthermore, the basic configuration of a Corporate Compliance system also comprises guidelines which support the Corporate Compliance processes by preventative measures. Hence, a clearly defined Corporate Compliance guideline regarding the handling of contractual partners is of significant importance. Prevent designs a concept matching the business relations of your company and considering the relevant requirements of combating money-laundering and fraud.

Also necessary is an Anti-Corruption guideline regulating the correct conduct with regards to gifts and benefits of all kind as well as how to avoid conflicts of interest.

Within the framework of a working Corporate Compliance structure employees and business partners should have the opportunity to report their knowledge or suspicions of presumable misconduct timely and without fear of reprisals in order to prevent conduct which could damage business. Prevent supports you by designing a specific Whistle-Blowing guideline and the implementation of an IntegrityLine, a position of trust receiving information confidentially and following it up in a professional way.
