Businesses face a wide variety of risks during normal the course of operations, irrespective of location.

Parallel Trading / Grey Market Monitoring
Alea searches for evidence of unauthorized trading, breaches of dealer and distributor agreements, unlicensed transactions, etc.

Anonymous Letters
Many multinationals have received anonymous letters at corporate headquarters indicating allegations of corruption against senior employees - especially those in Asia. The ombudsman has three choices - delegate the problem, dispose with the letter, or deal with it. For the latter, Alea conducts discreet independent investigations which include efforts to identify the sender, assess the allegations, establish their veracity and if true, to assist with appropriate legal action and termination of the offenders.

Monitoring of Investments
International financial institutions, Government bodies and Charitable Institutions regularly financially support and/or donate for philanthropic projects - these could be wildlife/forest conservation; rural development - including agricultural and infrastructure.

The funds are subsequently awarded to entities designated as NGO's. Alea assists by independently monitoring the allocation and dispersal of funds at site, to ensure that the funds are being used for the purpose for which they were granted.

KYC inquiries
KYC policies and procedures not only contribute to a financial institution's overall safety and soundness, it also protects the integrity of the financial system by reducing the likelihood of such institutions becoming vehicles for money laundering, terrorist financing and other unlawful activities. Alea's unique KYC program mitigates such risk.

AML investigations
The integrity of banking and financial services depends heavily on the perception that it functions within a framework of high legal, professional and ethical standards. A lot can and has been done to fight money laundering and many Governments have established comprehensive anti-money laundering systems to support their financial institutions. Alea is in a position to conduct independent investigations to review potential suspect transactions and establish the veracity of such allegations.
