COMPLIANCE & EXECUTION

Control what you can verify.
Execute what you can close.

A disciplined framework for counterparty, product, title, banking and settlement risk, before significant capital is committed.

COUNTERPARTY & SUPPLY REVIEW

Verify the party.
Verify the position.

Documentation is reviewed in the context of the proposed role, product, location and commercial structure.

Counterparty verification

  • Corporate registration and company profile
  • Authorized representatives and seller mandate
  • KYC / CIS and beneficial ownership where required
  • Relevant licences, permits and transaction role
  • Sanctions and jurisdictional considerations

Product & title verification

  • Availability, allocation and proof-of-product evidence
  • Ownership, title and authority to transfer
  • Relevant storage and terminal documentation
  • Vessel, loading and delivery documentation
  • Consistency across the commercial document set

BANKING & BENEFICIARY CONTROL

Know the beneficiary.
Understand the payment.

Payment instructions should match the documented transaction and the accepted settlement structure.

01

Beneficiary verification

Check the named beneficiary, role and banking coordinates through appropriate independent channels.

02

Bank-to-bank coordination

Relevant institutions assess the required confirmations, instruments and payment arrangements.

03

Documented payment route

Any unrelated third-party beneficiary requires clear authority and acceptance by the relevant parties and banks.

04

Defined settlement milestones

Align payment triggers with verification, inspection, title and contractual delivery conditions.

INDEPENDENT INSPECTION

Evidence that supports
commercial decisions.

Quantity, quality, specification, laboratory analysis, assay, dip tests or vessel and tank inspections may be appropriate according to the product and transaction structure.

SGS, Saybolt, CIQ or another mutually accepted inspection organization may be specified by agreement. Mention does not imply an appointed inspection relationship or endorsement.

Verification, screening and inspection support risk assessment. They do not eliminate commercial risk or guarantee a transaction outcome.
