Dun & Bradstreet (NYSE: DNB) grows the most valuable relationships in business. By uncovering truth and meaning from data, we connect customers with the prospects, suppliers, clients and partners that matter most, and have since 1841. Nearly ninety percent of the Fortune 500, and companies of every size around the world, rely on our data, insights and analytics.

Determining the ultimate beneficial owners (UBO) of individuals and companies your firm does business with has traditionally been complex, but it’s important to ensure you aren’t partnering with sanctioned individuals, terrorist groups, or money launderers. 

Finding out who is behind every company in your network requires complex data, often located in a myriad of sources – and information often differs slightly between those sources. Furthermore, there have recently been privacy concerns raised around the transparency of beneficial owners on public registers.

So how can you increase efficiency, accuracy and ensure you have a clean and accurate view of the truth?

Join Neil Isherwood to discover how data and new technologies can support you. You will learn:
• How the battle for transparency vs privacy in beneficial ownership is playing out
• Why understanding ownership is no longer enough – the need to check control too
• How moving to a people-centric approach can avoid duplication and capture aggregated ownership
• How to standardise and contextualise your approach while clustering people based on attributes and their networks

UBO 2.0 – Data and tech for the future of beneficial ownership

Today government procurement and compliance teams are under pressure, facing rapid change and ever-evolving supply chain risks. From macro issues and regulations to SME’s needing to scale and meet targets, understanding risk exposure and building supply chain resilience can be a challenge. 

To overcome the pressures and challenges, government departments must go beyond understanding risks pre-award, to proactively monitoring supplier relationships continuously for firmographic, regulation, or beneficial ownership changes. 

After attending this webinar, you will understand: 
- How quality, structured data can help agencies understand suppliers and the risks they pose.
- How data can improve due diligence processes and in entity resolution to provide a single view of a supplier cross departments. 
- How automation and technology can accelerate the contracting process and monitor change.

Best Practices for Using Data to Ensure a Resilient Public Sector Supply Chain

The term Perpetual KYC (P-KYC) has taken off in the last 12-18 months, but what is it? Most firms currently take a snapshot view of due diligence in a traditional 1, 3 or 5 year periodic review cycle, occasionally layering daily screening of particular elements. Full P-KYC involves consistent monitoring of all external and internal triggers than may impact risk.

In this video, our subject matter expert Neil Isherwood outlines the P-KYC operating model, advantages of the approach and challenges of transitioning.

5 Minute Briefing – What is Perpetual KYC (P-KYC) and Why Use This Approach?

Beneficial ownership registers were introduced across Europe as part of the 4th Anti-Money Laundering Directive. Since then, the 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directive made it mandatory for these registers to be publicly available. However, the European Court of Justice ruled at the end of 2022 that the benefit of public access is not proven and in fact interferes with the private lives of those on the registers.
Watch this short briefing to discover the background to the ruling, the status of UBO registers since the ruling, and the impacts on transparency.

Dun & Bradstreet's James Harrison and Rochelle March discuss how ESG insights can be used by Insurers to assess and mitigate risk

Become an ESG Leader in Insurance - Insights for Assessing Risk

As the UK government looks ahead to plot a course through the post-Brexit, post-pandemic world, senior leaders are focusing on the huge opportunities around better use of data: as the National Data Strategy makes clear, the government’s existing data assets could provide the fuel to power UK PLC in an increasingly digital environment.

But to realise that potential – linking up disjointed public services, strengthening evidence-based policymaking and supporting innovation – civil servants must address some of the foundational issues around how data is gathered, managed and exchanged. Without robust data governance and clear policies on how data is deployed, government bodies will struggle both to build public and business confidence in the agenda, and to deploy data in policymaking, management and service delivery.

The solutions lie in finding ways to ‘master’ data across government – creating persistent keys to allow data to be matched and exchanged between departments, connect up services and eliminate duplication. Featuring senior data leaders from the UK civil service alongside external experts, this webinar discussed how the UK civil service can seize the opportunities lying within its rich data assets.

Master Builders: The Foundations of Good Data Management

Governments have long recognised the value of strong private sector ‘environmental, social and governance’ (ESG) standards, which can improve companies’ impacts in a range of fields – from pollution to diversity, transparency to community engagement. And commissioning from firms with good ESG track records doesn’t only ensure that public spending helps realise a range of policy goals; it also makes good sense from the buyer’s perspective.

Companies with strong standards of transparency, sustainability and ethics, for example, find it easier to attract and retain staff, increase sales and avoid negative media attention – helping to insulate their clients against the risks of weak delivery, supplier collapse or reputational damage. And with a growing number of national leaders and strategies insisting that departments track environmental and social impacts throughout their supply chains, procurement staff are under pressure to gather and verify relevant data across their supplier networks.

This task has grown easier in recent years, with the emergence of stronger metrics and better data covering ESG performance; and with the spread of technologies such as the Internet of Things and satellite imagery, the range and quality of data sources is fast improving. But how can civil service bodies access reliable, verified ESG data that allows them to compare suppliers? How should that data be deployed within procurement processes? And how can public bodies continue to monitor ESG performance throughout the life of a contract? At this Dun & Bradstreet webinar, experts from the business data and analytics firm explored the state of contemporary ESG practice, explain the options facing civil service commercial teams, and answer questions from the live audience.

A good buy: using data to identify ESG conscious government suppliers

With a backdrop of evolving regulations, increasing fines and a complex macro environment, there is an increased pressure on firms to understand a wider view of who they are doing business with. Comprehensive due diligence goes beyond the initial onboarding, into ongoing monitoring for change.

Institutions continue to struggle to balance their compliance requirements – which can be cumbersome and a huge drain on resources - against cost and efficiency pressures. 

In order to accelerate due diligence and drive efficiencies, teams must rely on technology, combined with accurate and up-to-date data. With these tools, they can mitigate risks proactively and reduce effort.

During this webinar, experts from Dun & Bradstreet will cover:
• UBO 2.0 – how to gain a more complete picture of the ownership structures of all third-parties
• Using automation and intelligent false positive matching for a 75% reduction in effort
• Moving beyond periodic reviews and achieving perpetual KYC

Increasing efficiency and improving accuracy in the due diligence process

Sales teams are under mounting pressure to identify new prospects. But despite being armed with more information than ever before, there are often gaps in buyer profile data.
What you need is a better, more efficient way to find, reach and engage your buyers in this new all-digital world.  One that doesn’t require the massive effort of shifting through mountains of data to get the quality prospects. One that helps you get right to the business of landing deals.

We are here to help with our Webinar.

We will offer actionable insights about how you can target your prospects with confidence at the right time to capture their attention and close more deals. Discover practical ways to prioritize prospecting activity so that you can be sure your team is being efficient and maximising selling time.

• Who to target (both companies and people)
• When best to contact them (need, readiness to purchase, even time of day)
• What’s most meaningful to them (to connect your offer to their need)
• Bringing it all together

How the Best Sales Teams Stay Ahead - Better B2B Prospecting Starts Here

With a backdrop of evolving regulations, increasing fines and a complex macro environment, there is an increased pressure on firms to understand who they are doing business with. Organisations must carry out comprehensive due diligence on customers and suppliers in order to remain compliant, prevent unnecessary fines and avoid reputational damage.

However, it can be difficult to introduce a ‘Know Your Customer’ (KYC) or ‘Know Your Supplier' due diligence process that balances compliance requirements against cost and efficiency pressures. 

Using technology, combined with accurate and up-to-date data, is key to creating a streamlined and efficient KYC/KYS process - one that is easy to follow, protects the organisation and allows resources to focus additional effort on the third-parties that pose a higher risk.

During this webinar, experts from Dun & Bradstreet will cover:
• Key elements of a good KYC/ KYS due diligence process
• Potential barriers to a successful implementation
• Where to find the tools to help implement an efficient due dilligence process

Setting up an efficient due diligence process

Under Know-Your-Customer (KYC) regulatory requirements, banks and other financial institutions are expected to periodically review and refresh relevant information they hold on their customers beyond the initial Customer Due Diligence (CDD) carried out within the initial onboarding phase. 

However, periodic reviews are cumbersome and allow for windows of change, where criminal activity can stay under the radar for long periods of time. Organisations may be regularly screening the wrong individuals against sanction or PEP lists if they have missed updates to their directors or beneficial owners. Even continuous CDD and KYC remediation – whereby organisations frequently update customer data and profiles – can be inaccurate, is a huge drain on resources and not a good experience for the customer.

Now is the time to improve efficiency in the CDD and KYC process, and start using real-time data and alerts to monitor change in firmographics, directors, beneficial owners and transactions.

During this webinar we will cover:

• Why perpetual KYC is a game changer and what firms might be missing with periodic reviews 
• How to move to perpetual KYC 
• The important role data and technology play in CDD and perpetual KYC

The secret to turning continuous KYC into perpetual KYC
