Related-Party Transactions
Anweshna reads financial notes and disclosure schedules for the intercompany and insider transactions that can obscure a target's real financial position.
What it screens for
- Related-party loans — the outstanding balance and interest rate on loans between the company and insiders or affiliates.
- Management fees — the fee amount and which entity receives it.
- Intercompany transactions — the transaction value and whether it's justified on arm's-length terms.
- Board or founder transactions — the amount involved and whether it went through proper approval.
- Undisclosed side agreements — terms that don't appear in the primary contracts but surface elsewhere in the document set.
Why it's tracked as its own category
Related Party carries a 3% weight. On its own it's a modest weighting, but related-party findings frequently cross-reference Financial (misstated arm's-length pricing) and Anti-Bribery (undisclosed insider benefit) — surfacing it as its own line keeps that evidence visible instead of folded silently into a broader financial score.
