Agent Screening Process Flowchart
The current evaluation procedure has been devised for companies planning to enter into markets via an agent and it is based on an active business code of conduct on corruption and bribery. The use of this procedure can minimise the large number of problems related to corrupt agents and will overall reduce the risk associated with doing business in the country in question.
The evaluation procedure has been especially devised for SMEs. In case an SME would outsource the evaluation of agents, the procedure and accompanying instructions may serve as terms of reference.
The procedure only covers aspects related to corruption and bribery and should not be used to assess all risks associated with market entry or general business conduct.
The procedure does not address corruption and bribery related to the daily business but focuses alone on risks associated with the selection of an agent and the yearly renewal of the agent contract.
