Compliance

We live in an increasingly regulated world in which financial services are regulated to a high degree.

Investment structures can be complex. Cross border transactions may require any number of regulatory permits, pre-authorisation clearances, and detailed due diligence. Authorities are increasingly inquisitive and demand particular information about parties to a transaction, whether it be in the UK (eg: ATED or SDLT forms) or back trading certificates for foreign companies operating in the Middle East or Africa.

Banks, lawyers and accountants all need sufficient information about the people for whom they act and we are now in an era of fiscal transparency and reporting as embodied by the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and the Common Reporting Standard (CRS).

Valores Trust Company has the experience and the skilled resources to assist you with meeting all of your compliance requirements and can regularly help with the following:
