The ability to assess the risk of blocking the account on the ZSK

In Contour Focus, you can evaluate the risk of an account being blocked by the CSU. SKB Kontur announced this on October 18, 2024.

The service has an assessment of the risk of blocking an account according to the methodology of the Bank of Russia. It helps draw conclusions about the reliability of the counterparty or find out if the business partner is at risk.

The Central Bank assigns a high level of risk to companies in violation of the norms of the 115-FZ law. All data goes to the Know Your Customer (ZSK) platform. Banks block customer accounts with the red, highest, level of risk. The likelihood of blocking also appears in organizations that cooperate with counterparties - violators of the "anti-money laundering" law.

As of July 2024, there were 100 thousand companies in Russia with a red risk level and 140 thousand with medium, yellow. This represents 2.71% of the total number of organizations. Moreover, legal entities turn out to be 13 times more risky than individual entrepreneurs - the share of risk among legal entities reaches 5.99%, while among individual entrepreneurs it is only 0.46%.

The added functionality of Contour Focus, developed on the basis of the Bank of Russia criteria, allows you to learn about negative facts in the work of the counterparty even before the transaction with him or in a timely manner in the process of cooperation, if he is monitored. This will help minimize the risks of blocking your own account.

The service will provide information with which you can understand whether the counterparty is subject to blocking. To do this, you need to go to his card and look at the markers of the automatic check. If the risks are high, the service will show the marker "High risk according to the Bank of Russia methodology." The same marker will be indicated in the express report, surveillance news and in the block of related companies.

In addition, from October 1 Kontur 2024. The prism opened up the possibility for all users to check counterparties for a high risk of conducting dubious operations according to the Bank of Russia "Know Your Client" methodology. The list "Platform of the ZSK Central Bank. High Risk Group. " If a red marker lights up when checking a company or individual entrepreneur, the account of the verified person may be blocked.

{{quote 'author=said Nikita Kleiman, Small Business Segment Manager for the Contour.Focus Project | In any business, it is important to maintain continuity of processes, because any downtime entails direct costs and can affect relationships with partners. Working without pauses is especially important for small businesses, which often do not have a financial airbag. That is why the interest of entrepreneurs in reducing the risk of blocking the account by law 115-FZ remains very high. In order for our users to secure their business, we have added a marker to the service that reflects the counterparty's risks,}}

Financial Risk Scoring Model

A ready-made scoring model for assessing financial risks has appeared in Kontur. Focus. The developer announced this on September 11, 2024.

This is a template from experts, with which it is possible to determine how much the counterparty depends on external sources of financing, its level of debt burden and other factors that may lead to default.

According to the filling of criteria and stages of verification, the scoring model "Financial Condition" is as close as possible to the methodology of the Federal Tax Service for the assessment of legal entities. The finished model compares the company's indicators with threshold values ​ ​ from the recommendations of the Federal Tax Service and calculates the counterparty's reliability rating.

The scoring model will assess high risk factors, such as information about liquidation, bankruptcy, presence in the register of unscrupulous suppliers and others. If, according to the results of the scoring assessment, the counterparty falls into the "red zone," then there is a possibility that he will not be able to fulfill his financial obligations. The presence of such stop factors is a signal for revising the terms of cooperation.

The model will also analyze significant risk factors and moderate reliability factors of the company. For example, the ratios of current liquidity, total solvency, interest coverage, autonomy, profitability of the company. The Yellow Zone will show that problems are likely in the counterparty's activities. To reduce risks, it will be necessary to study in detail the markers that worked and conduct regular monitoring of the counterparty.

Financial Analysis of the Statements of Large Joint Stock Companies

The Focus has an financial analysis of the reporting of large joint-stock obshchestv.​. The developer announced this on September 9, 2024.

The information was collected manually from information disclosure sites.

Data on the finances of part of joint-stock companies are found only on information disclosure sites in the form of scanned documents. At the same time, most of the JSCs are among the largest issuers whose financial condition is of interest to users Kontur.Fokus.

The financial parity of such companies in recent years has been downloaded. Now in the service more than 197 cards of joint-stock companies have been replenished with information about finance for 2022, and in 123 cards there are reports for 2023

Understanding the financial condition of the joint stock company helps to identify potential financial and operational risks, which is important for both investors and counterparties. Including this information in the.Focus Kontur makes it easier to find information about AO finances. Now there is no need to study scanned documents on the disclosure site. It is enough to go to the company's card in Focus and make an idea of ​ ​ the situation in the JSC business - said Anton Yakovlev, an expert on economic security in Kontur. Focus.

Addition of scoring assessment of finance of legal persons by a technique of FTS

In Kontur. Focus added a scoring assessment of the finances of legal entities according to the FNS.​ method. The developer announced this on August 7, 2024.

To do this, 13 markers were added to the solution.

The service will compare the company's indicator with the thresholds from the recommendations of the Federal Tax Service and derive an assessment. Each triggered risk marker will downgrade the counterparty. The company will receive a high rating in the event that none of the risk markers worked.

This opportunity will allow you to quickly assess the level of tax burden, current liquidity, autonomy ratio, return on assets and other important parameters of the counterparty's activities.

Added markers are not included in the finished scoring models, but they can be added to your own validation models.

When developing markers, we proceeded from the methodology for assessing legal entities developed by the Federal Tax Service and approved by Order of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated 24.03.2023 No. ED-7-31/181 @. Of course, it is impossible to repeat exactly the entire Methodology - it also uses closed data, which is only at the disposal of the Federal Tax Service. However, we managed to include in scoring assessment criteria that are as close as possible to the methodology of the tax department, said Anton Yakovlev, Kontur.Focus expert on business economic security.

Adding Phone Numbers from Purchasing UIS

In the Kontur. Focus added phone numbers from the UIS procurement. SKB Kontur announced this on July 16, 2024.

It has become easier to contact partners - the service has phone numbers of sales departments, commercial directors, CEOs and even business owners.

Now in Focus, in addition to contacts from the websites of companies, the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and Rosstat, there are current phone numbers of more than 101,600 legal entities and 296,700 individual entrepreneurs. The source of information is the Unified Procurement Information System. The data will help you quickly contact counterparties, and also comply with due diligence - the Federal Tax Service asks in its recommendations to establish contact with management, otherwise the choice of the counterparty may be recognized as unreasonable.

In addition, incorrect numbers have been removed from Contour. Focus:

• non-existent,
• for which another organization is responsible,
• by which the answering machine always works,
• for which there is no consent for advertising calls.

As of July 2024, the total number of rooms in the Kontur. The focus is about 6.09 million. In addition to phones, the service shows emails from more than 1.2 million companies and individual entrepreneurs. They allow you to conduct business correspondence with counterparties and send complaints.

{{quote 'author=said Olga Smirnova, Head of Comprehensive Risk Assessment Service Contour.Focus | Phone numbers - demanded contact details of companies. However, it can be difficult to contact the counterparty on them. Often, the holder of the main work phone is an employee who is on vacation, so it is important to have alternative options. So that users of Kontur. Focus have a better chance to contact counterparties, we have added phone numbers from the EIS - now you can establish contact with the company through its employee who is engaged in procurement,}}

Add contacts for quick communication with counterparties

In Kontur. Focus there were contacts for quick communication with counterparties. The developer announced this on May 22, 2024.

The service shows e-mails of companies and individual entrepreneurs. Information allows you to quickly fill out the details of contracts, find organizations by email, contact them and send complaints.

In Kontur. Focus appeared information about e-mail from more than 1.2 million companies. Unlike other services for checking counterparties, which collect mail only from the extracts of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Contour. Focus also receives email from the websites of organizations. Now users can solve several problems at once:

• Quickly fill in the details of contracts. For the exchange of documents with a counterparty to be considered legal, you need to indicate the emails of both parties in the contract.
• Submit a claim. The law allows complaints to counterparties not only to the legal address - for organizations, or to the address by registration - for individuals and individual entrepreneurs, but also to email - for everyone. It is important that the email to which the claim was sent is listed in the contract or official sources.
• Find a counterparty by email. An email search may be needed, for example, when the name of an organization in correspondence with a counterparty is slurred.
• Find related companies by email. Find out which companies have the same email address. In Kontur. Background there are examples when a bankrupt and an operating company or ten different organizations have the same e-mail.

It is also convenient that email addresses do not need to be copied manually - to fill in the details, just click on the icon next to the address, and it is copied automatically.

{{quote 'author=said Olga Smirnova, Head of Solutions System for Checking Counterparties and Customers Contour.Focus | E-mail - required contact information of organizations. They are needed for official correspondence with counterparties and sending claims. We have been delaying the implementation of this opportunity for a long time in order to minimize the risk of using the service for advertising mailings. However, recent research has shown that emails are increasingly interested in users as one of the ways to check and interact with counterparties, so they have added them to the service,}}

Availability of SMB Finance Information

In Kontur. Focus appeared information finance small about the medium-sized business. This was SKB Kontur announced on March 7, 2024.

The service added data on revenue and average check of more than 588 thousand companies and individual entrepreneurs who provide services and sell goods at retail. Unlike financial statements, which are published once a year, information from online cash desks in Contour. Focus is updated every week.

Usually getting information about the finances of individual entrepreneurs and small companies is not easy. If an organization or entrepreneur has not recently given up on the market and accounting reports, then it will not be possible to assess financial indicators, and individual entrepreneurs on the USN are not at all obliged to keep records. At the same time, it is extremely important to get information about the finances of small and medium-sized businesses before the transaction. After all, the small size of the business does not mean that there will be fewer risks in cooperation.

Studying information from online cash desks in Kontur. Focus will reduce risks in cooperation with small companies and individual entrepreneurs. These services will help assess the solvency of the counterparty, study the activity of the organization, for example, check whether the company punches checks, whether there is seasonality in its activities. And also study the average check by month over the past three years, the geography of operations, conduct competitive exploration, find and evaluate new business partners.

Data on the finances of small companies from online cash registers will be useful to everyone who cooperates with legal entities and individual entrepreneurs from retail. Especially to those who provide products for sale on a postpaid basis.

Secondly, companies that want to enter a new market and conduct competitive exploration for this. And in the third - those who want to buy a ready-made business and be sure of its profitability.

Adding information on state support of counterparties

Information on state support for counterparties is now in Kontur. Focus. This was announced on October 23, 2023 by SKB Kontur.

It is difficult to check individual entrepreneurs and small companies, because there is little information about them: the financial reporting of entrepreneurs is not published, and the data of recently opened organizations cannot be analyzed in dynamics. The focus solves the problem: it shows what support SMEs receive from the state. This information helps to indirectly assess the resources of counterparties and the risks of cooperation with them.

The Focus for October 2023 contains information on more than 730 thousand organizations and 1.6 million entrepreneurs who receive support from the state and are members of the Unified Register of SMEs. The service shows different types of support:

• financial,
• informational,
• educational,
• consulting,
• property,
• innovative.

Companies and entrepreneurs who receive support from the state conduct real activities. Funds will not provide services to technical companies. Moreover, the fact of financial support may indicate that an SME invests in its development, which means that it has the resources to carry out the transaction.

Contour. Focus also shows violations of the conditions for receiving support. For example, cases of spending budget funds are not what they were allocated for. This information may indicate the dishonesty of the counterparty and become the reason for the termination of cooperation with him.

Launch of counterparty scoring

SKB Kontur, developer of the Kontur product. Focus, announced on January 16, 2023 the launch of the possibility of scoring assessment of counterparties. Scoring is a solution for quickly evaluating customers and suppliers against specified criteria. The result of the check is issued as a scoring point.

The system analyzes  company data from official sources. After evaluating all available parameters, the algorithm calculates the scoring score, which indicates the level of counterparty reliability. Each parameter has its own weight and level of risk, which the client can set independently.

For verification, you can use the ready-made template  with non-tax risks or configure your own scoring model by selecting the necessary criteria from the proposed markers. And the third option is to take the finished template as a basis, changing part of the criteria.

As a rule, in business, counterparties are checked by specialists from different departments: lawyers, accountants, security specialists, tender department , etc. At the same time, each of the directions assesses "its" indicators. It is time-consuming, fraught with mistakes, dragging out deals. Scoring solves this problem. Checking according to unified models unifies the assessment, excludes different interpretation of results and removes routine work from employees. Counterparty rating is formed in a few seconds, noted Elena Kataeva, project manager of Scoring  iAPI Contour. Focus.

 In Scoring, you can construct as many of your own verification models as you like. Both for different specialists and for different types of counterparties. The use of different scoring models will significantly speed up decision-making on transactions. Counterparties can be put on mass verification according to some criteria, and existing ones - on monitoring according to others.

 In Scoring, you can watch how the scoring score changes. Retrorate analysis makes it possible to predict the future assessment of the counterparty. For example, see in advance the signs of deterioration of the financial condition in order to adjust the conditions of cooperation in a timely manner.

Scoring is suitable for companies that want to automate verification, but for some reason do not consider the option of integration. It will help optimize verification for businesses where there is a regulated verification process. Will close the request of organizations where there is no adopted regulation yet, but there is a need to standardize the check. And it will also be useful for companies that do not have dedicated specialists to evaluate clients and suppliers and this non-core task lies with accountants, lawyers or other specialists.
