Does compliance block deal flow?
Investors, deals, and opportunities are left waiting while compliance teams seek answers to more nuanced questions.
Increasing scrutiny from consumers, investors and the regulator means this friction could intensify. Compliance teams now need to decide if they "should" proceed with an investment on an ethical basis. This requires deep contextual research, which is a slow and painstaking process.
Your reputation rests on the depth of your due diligence.
The regulator, consumers, and investors expect thorough due diligence on every client and deal, leaving no stone unturned. Relying on traditional databases and surface-level internet searches isn't enough to answer these broader questions. However, full-scale internet research costs time and money... until now.

Dow Jones Risk & Compliance
Given the scale of the team’s operations, they have always relied on technology to support them. Before Xapien, the firm used a different tool which would often result in more manual work than it saved. They would receive lengthy PDF reports that lacked interactivity and tended to produce false hits. The team had to sift through page after page, determining whether the information was relevant to the targeted companies and individuals. These reports typically spanned nearly 50 pages and made it challenging to discern what the direct risks were. The result was a slow process and a difficult relationship with the first line.
The firm now uses Xapien to screen portfolio companies they plan to buy. The Xapien reports take 10 minutes to run and provide early insights on risks and red flags as well as highlighting complex corporate structures. This allows the compliance team to quickly confirm if a portfolio company is suitable for a deal, and get back to the first line far quicker. They are no longer responsible for holding up the deal due to extensive background research, but can provide rapid insights early on in the cycle allowing the deal team to make more efficient decisions.
