Independent consultant providing Trade Finance Banks and Trading companies with an in-situ assessment of Warehouse keepers, Forwarding Agents, Collateral Managers and inspection companies auditing the logistics and storage operations (storage, transit, shipment, inland accumulation, distribution whether transit, import or export flows, etc.) of the commodities handed over to third parties. My main goal is to provide my clients with an opinion followed by recommendation on the reliability / good performance of such indirect risks in order to minimize/prevent frauds, misappropriation, losses, unauthorized releases/disposal of the goods received under their custody. In addition, my assessments are covering a full understanding of the logisitcs flows in order to adjust the physical operations to the constraints of the credit facilities/sub-limits offered by financing Banks to trading companies. The setup of SMA and CMA multipartite agreements is part of my services as well (selection of the inspection company/ Collateral Manager, in-situ due diligence and drafting of the scope of services)I cover all types of commodities wherever they are traded all around the world.
