Who is the training for?

For lawyers and experienced law firm employees who check documents for company or transaction mandates.

What prior knowledge do you need?

Introducing completed or comparable knowledge on the list of activities, stakeholders and general due diligence.

Your concrete added value

Your questions become more precise because you derive them from concrete contradictions. You can explain clearly to the responsible lawyer which document should clarify which point and which evaluation remains open.

Compare documents and explain the need for further enquiries

That's what you're working on in this training.

Understanding ownership and control
You're tracking a multi-level corporate structure based on register records and client information. The exercise combines the examination of economically eligible persons with the question whether information is complete, up-to-date and verifiable by appropriate documents.
Comparing purpose and method of payment
You face commissioned activity, transaction purpose and intended payment method. Different payers or intermediate companies are examined on the basis of possible explanations; from each remaining gap you develop a concrete, case-related question.
Documenting the scope of the examination
You compare general, simplified and increased due diligence on selected cases. For the exercise case, you justify the measures considered and determine which risk information or evidence is still missing for the final classification.

Your learning goals

Merge ownership and control information from several documents.
To investigate the contradictions between the purpose of the mandate and the way in which it is paid.
Compare the requirements of different due diligence obligations on the original text.
To combine queries and risk assessment in an understandable note.

From knowledge to a well-founded case solution.

Fictional practice case · Lawyers

Purchase price payment from another company

In the case of a company purchase, a foreign sister company is to pay the purchase price. The client details and the register extract show different ownership positions. Investigate which connections are documented, which explanation appears possible and what information is missing for the further examination.

In focus: Participating audit, economic background and risk-related queries.

Your Exercise

You will receive a participation sketch with a missing intermediate link and a different payment plan. Create a proof list and justify the order of your queries.

Your work result and proof of participation

An commented participation overview with evidence requirements and a case-based justification of the further scope of the examination. After completing the training, you receive a participation certificate and a participation Badge for your sector and level.

How this relates to your daily work

You train the preparation of more demanding mandates. The results can be used for consultation in the transaction team and for the comprehensible continuation of information already collected.
