WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN), the global business advisory firm dedicated to helping organizations protect and enhance their enterprise value, today announced that its Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment launched FTI Comply. As a state-of-the-art compliance solution designed by anti-corruption and data analytics experts, FTI Comply offers a web-based third-party due diligence solution built to address the compliance needs of global companies in today's complex risk environment.
Many companies continue to struggle with the challenge of implementing a meaningful, efficient and cost-effective system of managing third-party corruption risk. FTI Comply addresses this challenge through applying a centralized and consistent approach to due diligence while reducing the administrative burden and costs associated with many anti-corruption compliance programs. In particular, FTI Comply:
- Removes the uncertainty and eliminates the arbitrary approach to due diligence employed by many companies.
- Enables companies to centrally manage third parties through an interactive and customizable web-based platform.
- Includes a proprietary risk-profiling methodology customized for each business model to ensure that an appropriate level of due diligence is performed on the highest-risk third parties while limiting the cost and administrative burden for lower-risk partners.
- Tracks the results of risk-based due diligence efforts while maintaining documentation for ease of review and monitoring.
- Allows for baseline due diligence to be conducted inside the application and continually monitors third parties with daily checks against a comprehensive database of global enforcement activity, watch lists, politically exposed persons and media coverage.
