SatoriCOI

Conflict Of Interest

Automated monitoring of transactional and Master File data provides 100% assurance to the senior executives and the board that these risks are being managed effectively.  

Satori Service as a Solution

Collusion or Conflict of Interest (COI) can seriously impact your business operations and result in financial loss, fraud, and loss of reputation.

Due to the complexities associated with Conflict of Interest in an organisation, often the monitoring of COI risks is ad-hoc.  Methods applied to monitoring are typically manual checks based on a sample of transactions resulting in limited assurance to senior executives and the board. Some organisations have adopted an attestation approach. Whilst this approach can be more automated by the use of electronic questionnaires, it is still not data-driven, leaving responses open to be manipulated to cover up potential COI. Our COI solution delivers automated, continuous monitoring of these risks and 100% peace of mind.

Continuous Improvement

Address exceptions in a timely manner

SatoriCOI ensures exceptions are addressed in a timely manner, daily, weekly or monthly. Exceptions that are presented to the business due to an annual review may not be relevant at the time of reporting, making it too late to take meaningful action.

Rather than following up on a potential COI policy breach that happened months ago, SatoriCOI allows you to identify breaches as they happen. This allows you to follow-up immediately and dramatically improves your chances of remediation.

How it works

SatoriCOI automatically monitors COI risks within an organisation on a daily basis across multiple disparate data sources. Potential conflicts identified can then be investigated providing 100% assurance to the board that these risks are being managed effectively.

COI risks monitored

  • Employee/Vendor conflicts
  • Employee/Customer conflicts
  • Employee/Employee personal relationships
  • Gifts and benefits
  • Procurement
  • Contracts
