In today's episode of Integrity Insights I talk to Verena Horne, a senior consultant at Berlin Risk. We discuss the latest developments in the field of sanctions enforcement in the United States and the European Union. Verena explains why sanctions risk is top of the agenda for many internationally active companies, and talks about how this type of risk can be mitigated with the help of sanctions due diligence.

In the second episode of Integrity Insights, I talk to Vlada Tkach, a managing partner at Berlin Risk. We discuss the topic of commercialisation of disinformation by private actors in the post-Soviet space. Apart from illuminating the socio-economic reasons behind the development of a private disinformation market in the post-Soviet territory, Vlada provides many useful tips on how to  distinguish authentic from inauthentic online content. Given the global nature of such private disinformation campaigns, often referred to as “disinformation as a service” or “disinformation for hire”, this conversation is relevant not just for compliance professionals.

In the very first episode of Integrity Insights, I talk to Jennifer Hanley-Giersch, a managing partner at Berlin Risk. We discuss the topic of corporate ownership transparency in the EU. In our roles as investigators, we rely on publicly available company information. In recent months, access to information about actual owners of companies, the so-called "ultimate beneficial owners", has been invalidated by a ruling of the EU Court of Justice. Why did this happen? What does this mean for journalists, NGOs and due diligence investigators? Is the EU still committed to ensuring corporate transparency across the bloc? Find out the answers in this episode!
