Covered in this Briefing Note:

Financial crime involving those with political influence has a profound impact on society today, from inequality to the degradation of public trust. Recent global corruption and bribery scandals involving politically exposed persons (PEPs) highlight key vulnerabilities in our political and financial systems.

As PEPs have relatively higher risk exposure, it is important to understand today’s global PEP risk landscape and best practices on PEP risk management. This briefing note aims to provide an overview of key financial risks and trends associated with PEPs, as well as compliance and regulatory guidance on how to safely do business with PEPs.
