Risk Detection System

Due Diligence

Due Diligence is a decision-making tool regarding potential third parties with whom the Company interacts. It is a dynamic and continuous process that includes evaluation cycles to constantly improve its relationship standards with third parties, the efficiency of controls, and confirm or adjust counterpart profiles according to risk appetite and the challenges and objectives set.

Through the due diligence process, the company should adequately respond to possible changes in the risk profile as circumstances evolve. For example, changes in the country's regulatory framework, emerging sector risks, new business developments, or entering new jurisdictions, among others.

The Company will take reasonable Due Diligence measures with a risk-based approach and the materiality of the latter. The starting point of the process is document assurance by the responsible area or where the need arises, which consists of reviewing and analyzing the information and documentary support provided by the counterpart to start the engagement process with the Company. This will serve to make a decision regarding the relationship.
