All types of violations

Interaction of Supplier with Entities Affiliated with the Customer 

Engaging subcontractors (or financing on other grounds) companies or individuals affiliated with the customer’s employees. For instance, shortly after receiving payment, the supplier transfers 20% to the account of a law firm registered in the name of the customer organization head’s brother-in-law.

To identify this and subsequent types of violations, there’s a need for expert analysis of data related to the potential affiliation of subcontractors and customers based on open information about executives and founders.
