Secretarial & Corporate Compliance

THE challenge for India

Adhere to law and order and your (European) regulations.

It is still possible that Indian companies do not always comply 100% with all regulations. People often try to “shorten the route”, or “special payments” are quickly accepted because they want to participate in it themselves (kickback), or managers and administrative staff try to cover up their own mistakes.

Often there is no ill will behind it, but rather a lack of risk awareness, negligence, laziness or ignorance.

In addition, authorities, officials, unions, etc. often try to put a company under pressure and thus force it to make unnecessary “special payments” or blatant corruption.

Many Indian managers do not yet have a corresponding awareness of problems and risks. The risk potential has increased significantly in India in recent years and the clearance rate has been significantly improved, particularly thanks to the Indian press and the introduction of numerous digital processes. Western companies are also suddenly confronted with unpleasant surprises when Indian employees of the company have violated law and order without the knowledge of the parent company and the company is portrayed in the press as “corrupt” or even “criminal”.

Our ultimate goal is the invulnerability of your company – in India and in Europe!
