THE KEY FEATURES OF DDE PORTAL

The complete online compliance management system designed to meet all of your due diligence obligations, protect you from threats to your registrations and avoid disruptions to trade.

DDE Portal is designed to provide you with the complete online compliance management system necessary to meet the ever-increasing level of expectation for legally required due diligence controls and ensure the highest level of protection for all registrations critical for trade.

A business’s day to day due diligence controls and ongoing assessments of risk have now become the key focus for HMRC in all assurance visits. During these meetings HMRC will test the effectiveness of a business’s FITTED due diligence controls to assess whether they remain ‘fit and proper’ for the purposes of retaining their registrations for trade. Many businesses within the industry are now receiving heavy criticism and threats against their registrations as a result of them not meeting the expectations and requirements of HMRC.

By centralising all evidence of your FITTED due diligence controls, checks and ongoing assessments of risk DDE Portal streamlines the due diligence process whilst significantly increasing the level of compliance. Our system facilitates the documentation and generation of an extensive volume of due diligence actions and considerations with minimal input from the user.
