i-factanalysis and Steer Global

WE KNOW THE FOREIGN CORRUPT
PRACTICES ACT (FCPA)
LIKE THE BACK OF OUR HAND.

Lapses with internal compliance procedures and evolving global regulatory changes to prevent fraud, bribery, and corruption can position an organization unfavorably. We understand through practical exposure how multi-national organizations are structured; their business-critical interactions, dynamics, controls, and processes and how those components find their way into daily activities where compliance demands management.

FIRMS DON’T ALWAYS ANTICIPATE COMPLIANCE NIGHTMARES.
BUT WE DO.
OUR CHECKLIST IS BORN FROM EXPERIENCE.

Deferred Prosecution with DOJ

We are one of the very few entities worldwide that have completed a deferred prosecution with The Department of Justice for a violation of the U.S. FCPA.

Accredited certification to conduct global ISO 37001 Audits

Performed the ISO 37001 Anti-bribery Management System (ABMS) certification audits for the first major U.S. Fortune 100 company to adopt and pass the rigid ISO standards.

Built 'best-in-class in-house self-controlled investigative unit DOJ

Labeled ‘best-in-class’ by the Department of Justice, which enabled a Fortune 200 multi-national corporation to self-monitor internally and report allegations of bribery to the DOJ quarterly.

Dynamic multi-national organizations

Intercultural competence is a critical skill when auditing global companies. We help structure the effective management of communication tools to optimize results at the local level.

THE ONLY SOURCE OF KNOWLEDGE IS EXPERIENCE

The Praise Keeps Coming

…A GREAT SET OF PARTNERS TO WORK WITH AS PART OF MICROSOFT’S ISO 37001 JOURNEY

Mr. Hesselroth said, “After competitively evaluating several ISO 37001 accredited certifying bodies in the market, I was extremely impressed with the PECB and STEER team, their extensive practical experience working in compliance business units of multi-national organizations and their in-depth understanding of ISO 37001 requirements.”

Microsoft Hungary and a global business group within Microsoft were certified as ISO 37001 compliant in August 2019, making it the first major U.S.-based company to achieve this milestone.

ABB LTD’S COOPERATION DURING THIS INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN EXTRAORDINARY

During a U.S. Department of Justice investigation of Swiss energy sector giant Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) for possible FCPA violations, ABB called upon STEER principals and co-founders Kerry Keating and Daniel Bleeker. Keating, appointed to the i-fact@nalysis board of directors in 2015, and Bleeker played an instrumental role in an executive team that allowed ABB to determine the course of its investigations and implement preventative anti-bribery measures.
