Anti-corruption
Escalante & Asociados advises its Clients in the design and implementation of adequate internal policies to prevent the commission of illegal acts by its officers or employees, seeking for a correct functioning of its operational framework. As an effort of the Mexico´s federal government to strengthen the state action in the area of prevention and fight against corruption, transparency and accountability, the National Anticorruption System was created and entered into force on 2017, and with it, the General Law of Administrative Responsibilities, which establishes the acts or omissions that may be incurred by both public servants, as individuals (individuals and corporations), such as serious and non-serious administrative offenses, as well as the mechanisms of prevention, correction and investigation of administrative responsibilities. Due to the above, and with the purpose of mitigating the risks of its clients in such matter, the Firm provides services to implement the appropriate internal policies for its correct operation through compliance. Therefore, the Firm´s services consist in the elaboration of policies, manuals, contractual clauses and adequate internal controls, adhering to the policies, criteria and guidelines on anticorruption provided for in our legislation and in accordance with the standards set forth in ISO 37001. For Escalante & Asociados it is very important to provide legal certainty to its clients, so its work aims to avoid possible criminal and administrative responsibilities derived from non-compliance with anti-corruption regulations.
