MANAGE PAY-TO-PLAY COMPLIANCE

Pay-to-play compliance is a concern for firms of all sizes.  Even the appearance of a donation made to influence government business deals can raise regulatory red flags and trigger a cooling off period, leading to potential lost revenue from uncollected fees. 

Monitor

VERIFY AGAINST INDEPENDENT DONATIONS DATA

Relying on employees to self-report donation activity and manually managing the process is both time-consuming and risky. 
Verify the contributions of covered associates against regularly updated donation data, plus track aggregate donation amounts for compliance with de minimis threshold limits.
