State Owned Enterprises – SOE
*NEW*
Our latest database was launched in autumn 2019. As with our other databases it has been built to fulfil specific regulatory requirements and can be implemented in a customised compliance process.
Content
Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) is high on the agenda of international organisations such as the UN, the OECD and the World Bank; numerous studies have highlighted the risks of corruption and other irregular practices in relation to State Owned Enterprises. A more vigilant approach in doing business with SOEs has been the result of increased awareness of the risk of unlawful behaviour in or around SOEs in certain countries.
Curated Information
The extensive global SOE database is an essential tool for a strong know your partner (KYP) / know your customer (KYC) process and for mitigating these compliance risks. It covers the following SOEs, entities, categories and information:
