Anti-Bribery, Corruption and Financial Crime

 

East African Solutions is committed to conducting business lawfully, ethically and with integrity. We take a zero-tolerance approach to bribery, corruption, money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion and other forms of financial crime.

Bribery and Corruption

East African Solutions, and anyone acting on its behalf, must not directly or indirectly offer, promise, give, request, agree to receive or accept any financial or other advantage intended to secure an improper commercial, regulatory, contractual or personal benefit.

This prohibition applies to dealings with private individuals, businesses, public officials and state-owned organisations. It includes bribes, kickbacks, secret commissions, facilitation payments and improper payments made through agents, consultants, introducers, delivery partners or other intermediaries.

Reasonable and proportionate hospitality or business expenditure may be appropriate where it has a legitimate purpose, is permitted by applicable law and cannot reasonably be understood as an attempt to influence a decision improperly.

Financial Crime and Sanctions

East African Solutions will not knowingly participate in, facilitate or support money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion or the concealment of criminal proceeds.

We apply proportionate, risk-based checks when appropriate to the nature of an engagement. These may include establishing the identity and beneficial ownership of prospective clients, counterparties and delivery partners; understanding the purpose of an engagement and the expected source and destination of funds; and considering relevant sanctions, political exposure, jurisdictional and reputational risks.

We may request further information or supporting documentation where a proposed relationship, transaction, payment instruction or ownership structure raises concerns.

Our Response to Identified Risks

East African Solutions reserves the right to decline, suspend or terminate an engagement where:

  • adequate information cannot be obtained;

  • the identity, ownership or authority of a party cannot be satisfactorily established;

  • a payment or proposed activity appears inconsistent with the stated purpose of the engagement;

  • bribery, corruption, sanctions or other financial-crime concerns arise; or

  • proceeding could breach applicable law or compromise our professional integrity.

Where required by applicable law, relevant concerns may be reported to the appropriate authority. We will not disclose information about such a report where doing so is prohibited.

Scope and Responsibility

These principles apply to East African Solutions’ directors, employees, representatives and anyone engaged to act on its behalf. We also expect clients, contractors, advisers, introducers and delivery partners involved in our engagements to uphold comparable standards.

Compliance requirements are considered according to the nature of each engagement and the laws applicable to East African Solutions and the jurisdictions in which the relevant activities take place.
