Governance & Compliance
Corporate governance & compliance framework
Governance is not a formality here — it is the foundation trust is built on. MG Advisory applies institutional standards of diligence, transparency and compliance across every cross-border engagement.
01
Ultimate Beneficial Ownership & Sanctions Vetting
Before any formal engagement begins or advisory materials are shared, every prospective partner, target account and associated entity is screened.
- Ownership thresholds
- Any individual holding or controlling 25% or more of equity, voting rights or proxy structures is identified and verified.
- Sanctions & watchlist screening
- Entities and beneficial owners are checked against PEP registers and sanctions frameworks, including OFAC, UK Sanctions, EU Consolidated Lists and UN Security Council measures.
02
Data Privacy & Cross-Border GDPR Architecture
Every mandate spanning UK and EU jurisdictions is held to both regimes' data protection standards.
- Dual-regime compliance
- Corporate data, personal identifiable information and health or longevity metrics are handled to both EU GDPR and UK GDPR standards.
- Secure transfer protocols
- Cross-border data flows are governed by standard processing agreements and encrypted transfer protocols.
03
Sectoral Pre-Clearance & Regulatory Alignment
Regulatory alignment is a prerequisite, not a formality, for any longevity, medical wellness, therapeutics or precision health mandate.
- Regulatory governance
- We confirm client technologies, clinical facilities and commercial frameworks hold, or are actively pursuing, pre-clearance from the relevant authority: the MHRA in the United Kingdom, the ANSM in France, and Swissmedic with the cantonal authorities in Switzerland.
04
Financial Architecture & Cross-Border Fiscal Compliance
Financial governance is structured to protect both parties across every jurisdiction in which we operate.
- Reverse-charge mechanism
- Cross-border invoicing to international clients is issued under the standard VAT reverse-charge mechanism, allowing local tax self-assessment without secondary registration.
Further detail on our governance framework is shared privately with prospective clients on request.
