Anti-Corruption Compliance
Integrity and anti-corruption matters frequently turn into questions of value: how much was paid, what advantage was obtained, what harm resulted, and how fines, restitution or adjustments should be calculated.
Context in which the service applies
SGEx works on the technical dimension of these matters, supporting counsel, committees and companies. The firm does not replace legal advice on anti-corruption matters; it organizes the economic and accounting data needed so that decisions and submissions rest on verifiable figures.
When this analysis is needed
- Administrative liability proceedings and negotiations with authorities.
- Quantification of improper advantage and the financial effects of the conduct under review.
- Disputes arising from contracts affected by irregularities.
- Review of calculations presented by authorities or by an opposing party.
- Corporate transactions in which an integrity matter affects price or indemnities.
Questions typically analyzed
- Quantification of damages, losses and gains associated with the conduct under review.
- Criteria applied to calculate amounts to be repaid.
- Economic effects on contracts and revenue.
- Framing and analysis of technical questions.
- Review of reports and expert opinions.
- Documentation of payments and corresponding benefits.
How SGEx Approaches This
SGEx identifies the values relevant to the discussion, examines the sources that support them, sets out the calculation method explicitly, and presents alternative scenarios where the applicable criterion is still under debate.
Possible Work and Deliverables
The format is defined according to the case, the proceeding and the purpose of the work.
- Quantification expert opinion
- Supporting calculation memorandum
- Review of third-party calculations
