Understanding Criminal Charges Risk

Criminal charges may arise from a wide range of activities, including fraud, corruption, financial misconduct, regulatory violations, or violent and organised crime. Even unproven allegations can impact:

• Corporate reputation and stakeholder confidence

• Legal and regulatory standing

• Operational continuity and partnerships

• Investment and market access

Effectively managing criminal charges risk is a key component of background screening, due diligence, and risk intelligence programs.
