Faced with the strengthening of regulations, controls and severe sanctions against corruption, money laundering or the financing of terrorism, companies must in particular carry out prior checks called "due diligence" (financial health, reputation, integrity of the partner…) to comply.

Compliance issues primarily concern two target establishments, and relate to distinct business issues. As part of the Sapin 2 Law of December 9, 2016, large French companies with more than 100 million euros in turnover and 500 employees and public establishments must put in place various systems to prevent the risk of corruption , influence peddling, misappropriation, illegal taking of interest, embezzlement of public funds and favouritism. This law thus concerns more than 1,600 French companies. This scope should be widened taking into account the recommendations of the French Anti-corruption Agency (AFA).

The 4th and 5th Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council, of May 20, 2015 and May 30, 2018, concern financial institutions, insurance companies and certain regulated businesses. Beyond these regulations, the measures get more complicated. And in a context where legislation and regulations are tightening, compliance issues are becoming a priority for many companies.
