This page sets out how MontEkhi & Company operates as an independent advisory practice — the standards that govern how we take on work and how we handle the information that comes with it.
Independence
We do not hold equity in, or receive referral fees from, any counterparty, distributor, regulatory agent, or market participant in the jurisdictions where we advise. Advisory conclusions are independent of whether a transaction completes.
Conflicts of Interest
Every new engagement is screened for conflicts at intake and any potential conflict is disclosed in writing before work begins.
- Intake check across prior relationships, current mandates, and market positions
- A conflict identified mid-engagement is disclosed within 24 hours and the work paused
- The engagement continues only on the client’s written instruction
Confidentiality & Data Handling
Client identity is protected until the agreed disclosure point, briefings are NDA-standard, and personal data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. Client data is not retained beyond the engagement unless agreed.
Anti-Bribery & Sanctions
We operate to anti-bribery and anti-corruption standards and screen engagements for sanctions exposure. We decline work that would require, or appear to require, a breach of applicable anti-corruption or sanctions law.
Regulatory Scope
We provide advisory services. We are not a law firm, accountancy practice, or licensed financial-services provider, and our work does not replace licensed professional advice. Where an engagement needs regulated legal, tax, or financial advice, we say so and work alongside the appropriate licensed professionals.
Engagement Records
Final deliverables carry named-advisor sign-off and a documented evidence basis. Engagement files are retained for 7 years, after which they are deleted.
