    From a company name to a decision

    Four steps. One file holds the research, the findings and the decision.

    1. STEP 1

      Identify the company

      Give a name and country, or a list in a spreadsheet. Covenance reads the register.

    2. STEP 2

      Trace the owners

      Follow the chain through parent companies to the people in control.

    3. STEP 3

      Screen the people

      Check the company and its people against sanctions and PEP lists.

    4. STEP 4

      Record the decision

      A named reviewer decides. The reasons and evidence stay on the file.

      Each onboarding records the workflow version it ran.

    • A named reviewer decides
