Proximities mission: spoedevacuatie vanuit Zuid-Afrika
Het is begin 2020 in Zuid-Afrika. Het luchtruim is gesloten, de snelwegen zijn geblokkeerd met roadblocks en niemand mag het land in of uit vanwege corona. Jouw medewerkers terughalen van Kaapstad naar Nederland is op dat moment onmogelijk. Of toch niet?
Hoe voorkom je problemen met jouw bank vanwege de Wwft?
Weet je niet zeker of jouw internationale zakenrelaties en transacties voldoen aan de steeds strengere eisen van de Wwft (Wet ter voorkoming van witwassen en financieren van terrorisme)? Want hoewel de wet al in 2008 tot stand kwam, wordt deze dankzij Europese anti-witwasrichtlijnen regelmatig aangescherpt. Dit heeft invloed op jouw buitenlandse relaties én de eisen die jouw bank stelt aan je betalingen. Hoe is dit ontstaan? En hoe voorkom je problemen? We nemen je mee in deze ontwikkeling.
“Nederland is niet voldoende veiligheidsbewust”
Als risk consultancy agency zien wij helaas nog té vaak organisaties die nieuwe medewerkers niet (goed) screenen met een pre-employment screening. Hoewel dit een cruciaal onderdeel is van een veilige en integere organisatie, blijkt dit in de praktijk een ondergeschoven kindje. Hoe kan dit? En hoe los je dit eenvoudig op? We vroegen het aan Daan Brink, managing partner van Proximities.

In addition, the Dutch government will not transfer to UAWC the last part of its financial contribution. The report – the result of seven months of investigation by Proximities – was not published by the Dutch government but shared with the House of Representatives in confidence.

One year into the pandemic: Business Travel

However, with the development of fast tests, and the roll out of vaccinations, the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel seems brighter than ever before. Companies are carefully looking at the resumption of business travel, which will become feasible again in the next couple of months. Are you ready to travel?

Integrity Due Diligence
Expanding your business abroad is one of the most challenging tasks faced by entrepreneurs and managers. At home, it’s easy for skilled businessmen and women to decide whether to trust a local partner based on a gut feeling. You can visit your prospective partners in person and visit their office to determine whether they are trustworthy. When conducting business abroad, or with foreign partners, this decision is usually more difficult to make.
