First Compliance Software in Peru

Valderrama Abogados is the first law firm in Peru which creates a software for managing regulatory compliance processes, Legal Compliance Scan.

This integral platform offers review of operations, training and process uploads which will help our clients with the implementation of adequate policies to prevent, detect and manage the risks of non-compliance with standard worker protection regulations, avoiding penalties and financial losses.

We also can manage all queries from the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), creating sanctioning projects because it is a platform that organizes the company's documentation on its prevention systems.

Additionally, makes it easier for us to reach the information requested by the regulatory entity and the possibility of reviewing all the guidelines that ensure the effectiveness of the compliance system.  Also, the platform guarantees the security and privacy of data and streamlines compliance processes.

Legal Compliance Scan allows processes, client due diligence, suppliers, investors and stakeholders.

Achievements in Compliance

We are proud to have been the firm that managed to change the criteria of the regulatory body (FIU) on the treatment of the real estate sector in the designation of compliance officers, achieving that the entity understands the business model and can adapt the compliance programs to it, making it possible for companies being formalized and regulated, and not have a non-compliance in front of the regulator.

The second outstanding achievement is that we have the highest percentage of approval by the regulatory body in the audits that it performed on our clients, all of which were passed successfully and satisfactorily for them without any type of contingency. This situation is extremely valuable and important for us due to the complexity of the audits and the exhaustiveness of the review by the regulatory body.

This experience added to our high degree of knowledge in terms of regulatory compliance, has allowed us to be outstanding speakers and panelists. Now, Karina Quinde, our Regulatory Compliance Manager; and Erick Valderrama, Head of our firm, are required by entities to give training and seminars on Compliance worldwide.
