4 key benefits that set us apart!

Advantage #1

Centralize philanthropy and sponsorship requests

Incorporate any specific features of your organization related to the different categories of philanthropy, sponsorship and third-party requests, ensuring accurate management that complies with the specifics of each situation. A questionnaire sent to the beneficiary third party enables the collection of details and supporting information on its tax, accounting and social situation.

Advantage #1
Advantage #2

Combine automated and human verification layers

Once the initial declaration information has been completed, an automated check verifies its compliance with your organization’s internal policies, providing a first layer of validation.

If the automated check identifies the need for validation, the declaration is then escalated, adding a level of human review. A reputational due diligence review, carried out by the Compliance team or a specialized lawyer, makes it possible to verify the beneficiary’s credibility and reputation.

A contract detailing the terms and conditions of the philanthropy or sponsorship is diligently prepared based on the information collected and signed by the parties involved (requester, approver, beneficiary third party).

Advantage #2
Advantage #3

Manage your framework

Ensure regular communication with all stakeholders through KPIs and reporting covering the different stages of your framework and enabling you to assess and manage gifts and hospitality declarations within your organization. When a philanthropy or sponsoring operation is approved and payment has been made, the requester must demonstrate the effective implementation of the operation to ensure compliance with the Sapin 2 law.

Evidence such as photos, scans, or other supporting documents must be provided to confirm that the supported project has been carried out.

Advantage #3
Advantage #4

Maintain centralized, up-to-date documentation

With centralized documents related to a sponsorship (sponsoring) or philanthropy request: information and documents submitted by the requester, information collected from the third party (K-Bis, tax, accounting and social situation, etc.), analyses and evidence supporting reputational due diligence reviews, etc.

What does the Sapin 2 law say about managing sponsorship and philanthropy activities?

Sponsorship and philanthropy are direct material, financial and human support provided by a company or public body to an individual or legal entity. As soon as there is consideration and exchange, the risk of corruption exists.

Support for cultural, sporting and social practices, promotion of the organization’s positive values, advertising and commercial benefits, employee engagement: sponsorship and philanthropy operations appeal to companies, administrations and local authorities. However, although governed by strict legal and tax rules, they create a vulnerability within the organization. As soon as consideration exists, the risk of corruption arises.

The different risks:

➡️ Concealment of undue professional and personal benefits under the guise of sponsorship and philanthropy: payment of a sum of money, free loan of premises, negotiated prices, etc.

➡️ Misuse of consideration to corrupt employees and obtain professional or personal benefits: obtaining a contract or public procurement award, speeding up a procedure

➡️ Misappropriation of funds to finance, with the help of sponsorship and philanthropy donations, a project unrelated to the operation.

➡️ Using sponsorship to circumvent public procurement procedures and favor a supplier.

Sponsorship and philanthropy: high corruption risks

Whether symbolic or clearly stated, consideration goes hand in hand with the risk of corruption.
Because of the links created between the public and private sectors, as well as between professional and personal spheres, sponsorship and philanthropy weaken the organization. Corruption risks are numerous. Depending on the case, they may also involve favoritism, influence peddling, or unlawful taking of interest.

The company, administration or local authority can protect itself by deploying strict measures proportionate to the organization’s risk profile and that of its beneficiary entities:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SPONSORSHIP, SPONSORING AND PHILANTHROPY ACTIVITIES

Sponsorship and philanthropy involve providing material, financial or human support to a legal entity or an individual. Philanthropy encourages activities in the public interest. Sponsorship more broadly supports a person, product, event or organization with an educational, sporting, cultural, social, artistic or environmental purpose. This is the description used in the latest AFA guide on sponsorship and philanthropy under the Sapin 2 law.

What is the difference between these two communication operations? Consideration. Philanthropy is a charitable act, with no direct or indirect consideration. Sponsorship is carried out with the aim of obtaining a direct advertising, reputational and/or commercial benefit.

Managing these risks is essential to:

  • Ensure regulatory compliance: Comply with applicable laws and regulations.
  • Prevent corruption: Avoid situations where sponsorship or philanthropy could be used as a means of corruption.
  • Protect the organization’s reputation: Maintain a positive public image and avoid scandals.
  • Ensure appropriate use of funds: Ensure that resources are used effectively and aligned with the organization’s objectives.

Software for managing the risks of sponsorship and philanthropy activities is a technology solution designed to help companies and organizations manage and mitigate the risks associated with their sponsoring and philanthropy initiatives. While these activities benefit the company’s image and the community, they can involve ethical, legal, financial or reputational risks.

The main risks include:

  • Corruption risk: Use of sponsorship or philanthropy funds for bribes or favors.
  • Non-compliance risk: Failure to comply with local and international regulations.
  • Financial risk: Poor management or misappropriation of allocated funds.
  • Reputational risk: Association with partners or controversial projects that could harm the organization’s image.
