Use cases

When Nordic headquarters need local support

01

Appointing a Spanish intermediary

Before appointing an agent, consultant, distributor, introducer or other intermediary, AIRI can assess ownership, reputation, public-sector connections, PEP exposure, litigation and integrity concerns.

02

Entering a partnership or JV

Understand the shareholders, beneficial owners, decision-makers, relationships and integrity risk before entering a significant commercial relationship.

03

Acquiring or investing in a Spanish company

Investigative due diligence can supplement traditional legal and financial due diligence by identifying integrity, ownership and reputational risks.

04

Third-party and supplier risk

Independent assessment of suppliers, contractors, advisors and other external parties operating around your Spanish business.

05

Group Compliance assurance

Independent review of whether local practices, controls and third-party relationships reflect group compliance and ABC expectations.

06

When concerns arise

Local intelligence and investigative support for allegations involving fraud, misconduct, conflicts, corruption or undisclosed relationships.

Risk exposure

Typical risk areas in Spain

As in any market, integrity risk concentrates where companies depend on third parties, approvals and high-value relationships. The focus is exposure and control — understanding where risk can arise and whether controls are proportionate.
