Anti-Bribery & Corruption / FCPA / UK Bribery Act
Know who’s connected to the officials approving your deals.
FCPA and UK Bribery Act violations don’t start with wire transfers – they start with undisclosed relationships. Sayari surfaces PEP connections, state-owned enterprise ties, and beneficial ownership links before they become enforcement actions.

What Sayari surfaces
The relationships your questionnaire never captures.
Counterparties don’t disclose PEP connections. State-owned enterprises don’t advertise their beneficial ownership. Sayari finds the relationships that don’t appear on self-certified forms.
PEP connections & political exposure
Identify when a counterparty’s beneficial owner, family member, or close associate holds or has held a government position – across 250+ jurisdictions and 1.4M+ tracked PEPs.
1.4M+ PEPs tracked
State-owned enterprise links
Surface when a supplier, distributor, or JV partner is wholly or partially controlled by a government entity – even when ownership is obscured through multiple holding layers.
SOE detection across 250+ jurisdictions
Beneficial ownership of counterparties
Automated multi-hop traversal identifies who ultimately controls the entity you’re contracting with – critical when government officials are known to hold ownership through nominees.

“We caught a PEP connection that our previous vendor completely missed – a beneficial owner two levels up from the contracting entity who held a government ministry position. That finding saved us from a potential FCPA matter that would have cost us tens of millions.”
