Analysing the typologies of interconnected companies can reveal greater insights about your third parties than traditional risk management approaches.
But how do you get the full picture? And how do you pick shell companies or high-risk agents and Trust and Corporate Service Providers out from the crowd?
Join this OpenCorporates webinar to hear how transparent company data and Quantexa’s knowledge graph technology combine to help you uncover risks hidden in corporate structures that wouldn’t otherwise be visible.
We’ll illustrate how you can build, risk-rate and identify ‘day one’ early warning signals from agents creating risky corporate entities – whilst reducing the noise of false positives.
