▾
Backup & Restore — the portable, sendable version of your data
Export everything — every deal, contact, checklist tick, note, document, calendar item, KYC field, and the full audit log — to one dated .json file. Send that file alongside this .html file to open the same data anywhere: another device, a teammate's browser, or a fresh copy of this tool. Do this regularly, and always before closing this tab if you've made changes and aren't certain they've synced.
Download this tool itself as an .html file
A separate thing from the backup above: this downloads the platform's code — the interface itself — as a standalone .html file you can keep, email, or open elsewhere. It downloads reset to a clean starting state (locked, on the Dashboard) regardless of what's on screen right now. Two honest limits on a downloaded copy: it saves to that one browser/device only rather than the shared workspace, and the Document Analyzer won't work outside Claude.ai. Everything else — deals, checklists, contacts, KYC, notes — works normally. Pair it with an exported backup (above) to bring your actual data into it.

Verification standard — applies to every deal on this platform
⚑ Non-negotiable, regardless of deal size or urgency
- Any bank instrument (SBLC, BG, LC, MT760) is confirmed directly with the issuing bank's trade-finance or compliance desk, using contact details from the bank's own published website or SWIFT directory — never a number or email supplied by the introducing broker.
- No fee, "refundable deposit," or "verification charge" is paid to any party before an instrument is issued or a shipment is delivered and assayed. This is the single most common feature of trade-finance fraud.
- Corporate registration, export/mining permits, and refinery credentials are checked against the issuing government registry or LBMA's own published Good Delivery list — not a scanned certificate supplied by the counterparty.
- A deal that has been "in progress" at the same stage (KYC, instrument pending, escrow pending) for more than 60 days is flagged for re-assessment, not left open indefinitely.

Monetization — we aggregate, proven monetizers fund
A client lodges a bank instrument with its CIS and verbiage. We run DD on the client (CIS + AI report), review the verbiage, confirm the instrument bank-to-bank, then match a proven monetizer from Buyers & Sellers → Monetizers. Add one with “+ Add deal record” → Monetization.

PPP trades — verify everything independently
Regulators (ASIC, SEC, FINRA, FCA) warn that private placement programmes and bank-instrument trading are frequently fraudulent. Each trade here carries a red-flag check, and only payouts confirmed by the client's bank count as received.

Group several deals under one umbrella
If one idea — "fuel to Australia," a gold corridor, anything with more than one selling or buying option — has multiple deal records under it, give them the same Mandate name (in Add/Edit deal) and they'll cluster here. Works for any commodity or idea, and only changes how deals already in Deal Flow are grouped — nothing else.
Offers
Buy & sell offer register
Every offer that's come in, built out in full straight away — verification happens when you select the seller or buyer, not before. An offer stays an offer permanently — link deals to it as buyers or sellers jump on, without ever losing the original.
How this works
Log the offer with the basics, then go straight into the full form — origin, delivery, pricing, quantities, contract terms, instrument. Verification lives at the seller/buyer selection field: pick an existing, already-verified counterparty and it's linked immediately; type a name that isn't in the system yet and it's added as a new record and you're taken straight to its verification checklist. An offer only counts as verified once its linked counterparty's checklist is complete. Offers and Deal Flow are separate lanes on purpose — a single seller's offer or a single buyer's bid is the constant thing everyone jumps on, while every deal against it is its own record with its own terms and checklist. Link a new or existing deal to an offer any time; the offer itself never changes or disappears, and can have several deals linked to it at once.

Instrument Library
What every security and settlement instrument actually is, which body's rules govern it, and how it is genuinely verified — so a term is never taken at a broker's word.
Process
Verification checklists by instrument
Tailored, start-to-finish checklist for each instrument type used in operations. Each is independent and persists as you work through it.
The verification hierarchy — where every checklist item sits
Six levels, low to high. A deal should not move from Instrument to Docs/POP until the instrument sits at V5 — not V1, not "the bank hasn't said no."
| V0 — Claimed | Someone told Jun Fortis the instrument exists. No evidential value. |
| V1 — Document received | PDF / screenshot / scan received. Still not bank verified. |
| V2 — Bank details confirmed | BIC, legal bank entity, and official contact independently confirmed. |
| V3 — Bank communication confirmed | Receiving/advising bank confirms an authenticated SWIFT message actually exists. |
| V4 — Terms verified | Legal/compliance review confirms issuer, beneficiary, amount, rules, expiry, and amendment history. |
| V5 — Operationally effective | Bank confirms the undertaking or payment is actually effective and usable on its stated terms. Only V5 clears the gate. |
How to use this page
Select an instrument tab, then work the checklist top to bottom. Items are grouped by phase. A deal should not be marked verified in Deal Flow until its matching checklist here is complete.

SOP
Standard Operating Procedure — Deal Lifecycle
How a deal is meant to move through this system, stage by stage, and what must be true before it advances.
Stage-by-stage gate
1 · Sourced
Lead identified
2 · KYC / DD
Onboarding
3 · SPA
Terms agreed
4 · Instrument
Verified, not assumed
5 · Docs / POP
Compliance pack
6 · Shipment
Assay on arrival
7 · Closed
Delivered & paid
1 · Sourced
A lead enters the register the moment it's identified — before any commercial commitment. Record: Deal ID, date received, introducer, seller's claimed legal name, commodity, origin, current location, quantity, purity, discount, trial quantity, ongoing quantity, delivery destination, instrument requested, seller's bank, proposed receiver, any fee/commission claims, and documents initially supplied. Exit gate: enough on file to identify who, what, where, how much, the commercial structure, and the instrument requested. Hard rule: no fees, no deposits, no travel payments, no banking action at this stage.
2 · KYC / DD
Full KYC/CIS completed on every named party — counterparty, introducing broker, and any financier — covering legal name, registration, jurisdiction, addresses, directors, UBOs, signatories, ID, licence/export authority, and bank details. Sanctions, PEP, adverse media, litigation and insolvency screening run and logged, plus bank BIC and licence verification. For gold specifically, the supply chain itself is mapped — mine, aggregator, seller, exporter, shipper, consignee, refinery, paymaster, financier, intermediaries — consistent with FATF's precious-metals guidance and the OECD due-diligence model. Every document status is one of: Received, Pending Verification, Verified, Unable to Verify, Expired, Rejected, Superseded — never just "on file." Exit gate: no material KYC item outstanding, no unresolved sanctions hit, UBO established.
3 · SPA
Sale and Purchase Agreement executed, specifying parties, product, purity, quantity, tolerance, price formula, delivery schedule, Incoterms® 2020 rule plus named place (e.g. "CIP Dubai International Airport, UAE, Incoterms® 2020"), insurance, export/import obligations, assay procedure and final assay authority, title/risk transfer, instrument type and issuing-bank criteria, payment trigger, performance bond terms, default provisions, governing law, and sanctions/responsible-sourcing representations. The instrument type is named explicitly — never "we'll work out the instrument later."
4 · Instrument
Whatever instrument the SPA specifies (SBLC, LC, escrow, etc.) is independently confirmed through the verification hierarchy (V0 → V5) — see the Verification page — before the deal is treated as funded. This is the hardest gate in the system: a deal remains at Stage 4 for as long as verification is incomplete, however long that takes, regardless of seller impatience, an expiring allocation, or a broker's assurance the SWIFT is "live." No exception because the window closes today.
5 · Docs / POP
Full documentation pack assembled and cross-checked: seller's title/lawful ownership, source declaration, Certificate of Origin, mining/export permits, licence, royalty/tax evidence, assay, bar/batch list, warehouse/vault evidence, insurance, packing list, commercial invoice — plus shipment-readiness items (exporter appointment, customs filing, carrier booking, AWB draft, consignee, refinery booking). Every document must correspond to the same seller, product, quantity, origin, shipment, dates, consignee, and destination — any unexplained mismatch stops the deal here.
6 · Shipment
Goods move under the Incoterm agreed in the SPA, with a documented chain of custody at every transfer — date/time, location, weight, seal, releasing party, receiving party. Origin assay does not replace destination final assay unless the SPA explicitly says otherwise — destination refinery assay is the settlement assay for this business's normal structure. Payment triggers only when the SPA's conditions are actually met.
7 · Closed
A deal is only marked "Closed — Delivered" once payment and delivery are both confirmed and reconciled against the SPA. Failed transactions are never deleted — they're valuable intelligence. Use the specific status (Closed — Failed Seller / Failed Buyer / Compliance Rejection / Instrument Failure / Documentation Failure / Mutual Termination / Commercial Withdrawal) and record: reason, responsible failure point, financial/time cost, counterparty score impact, and whether re-engagement is allowed. Outcomes are never re-labelled after the fact — the record is the record.
⚑ Automatic Compliance Hold — pause and escalate if any of these occur
- Unexplained third-party payment, or a third-party exporter not disclosed earlier
- Beneficiary bank account changes late, or the seller's account is an unrelated company
- Exporter has no demonstrable relationship to the named seller
- Instrument requested to a different beneficiary than the SPA names
- A paymaster inserted at the last minute
- UBO refuses identification, or a licence can't be verified
- Origin changes after the SPA is signed, or quantity suddenly increases dramatically
- Conflicting assays, altered PDF metadata, or conflicting dates across documents
- Unexplained intermediary chain
- Sanctioned country/person/bank exposure, or PEP involvement without enhanced due diligence
- A government official requesting personal payment
⚑ Automatic Instrument Hold
- An MT799 described as a guarantee, or an MT199 described as proof of funds
- A screenshot offered instead of bank confirmation
- The named bank refuses independent authentication
- A private email domain allegedly used by the bank
- A "leased SBLC" without direct issuing-bank confirmation, or any "guaranteed monetisation" / "cash backed" claim with no bank confirmation
- An upfront activation or unblocking fee requested by an intermediary
- Instrument beneficiary inconsistent with the SPA
⚑ Automatic Logistics Hold
- AWB unverifiable, or the wrong exporter appears on shipping documents
- Invalid export permit, or an unexplained transshipment
- Gold substituted after assay, or seals broken
- Weight mismatch, or customs documents inconsistent with the rest of the pack
- Destination refinery refuses intake

Protocol & AML Acknowledgment
Before touching real deals, every team member confirms they've actually read the core rules this business runs on — not just clicked through them.
The one rule everything else follows from
Nothing is verified because a counterparty supplied it. Verification only counts when Jun Fortis independently confirms the relevant fact with the issuing bank, registry, authority, refinery, or carrier — never by trusting a document, screenshot, or a broker's word.
The verification hierarchy — where every deal actually sits
| V0 — Claimed | Someone told Jun Fortis the instrument exists. No evidential value. |
| V1 — Document received | PDF / screenshot / scan received. Still not bank verified. |
| V2 — Bank details confirmed | BIC, legal bank entity, and official contact independently confirmed. |
| V3 — Bank communication confirmed | Receiving/advising bank confirms an authenticated SWIFT message actually exists. |
| V4 — Terms verified | Legal/compliance review confirms issuer, beneficiary, amount, rules, expiry, and amendment history. |
| V5 — Operationally effective | Bank confirms the undertaking is actually usable on its stated terms. Only V5 clears a deal to move forward. |
Hard rules — no exceptions, regardless of pressure or timeline
- No fees, deposits, or "verification charges" paid before an instrument or shipment is independently confirmed
- No bank instrument is treated as real until the issuing bank itself confirms it directly — never a broker, never a PDF
- No skipping stages or compressing timelines because "the window closes today" — that pressure is itself a warning sign
- Any leased/L2L instrument, or one issued by a non-bank party, is an automatic hold, not a judgment call
- Sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media screening happens before onboarding — not after a deal is already moving
Your obligation as someone with access to this system
Precious metals dealing sits within Australia's AML/CTF designated services under AUSTRAC. That's not background trivia — it means every deal you touch needs the same discipline: real KYC on every counterparty, screening before onboarding, and verification before anything is treated as confirmed. If something about a deal doesn't add up, the correct move is always to pause and escalate — never to assume good faith and keep moving because a counterparty seems credible or a deadline feels real.

Every counterparty, broker, financier, mandate, and internal point of contact — auto-populated from Buyers & Sellers, Deal Flow, and Offers as they're added, so nothing needs typing twice.
Counterparty pipeline
Buyers & Sellers
Every buyer and seller you meet, worked through its own verification checklist — separate tracks, since what needs checking on each side is different.
Sellers — offering supply
Anyone offering to supply a commodity: a mine, an exporter, a refinery, or an intermediary claiming access to one. Verification here is about confirming they actually have the right to sell what they're offering, at the price and quantity claimed.
Buyers — seeking supply
Anyone looking to purchase: an end-buyer, a refinery, a trading house, or an intermediary claiming to represent one. Verification here is about confirming they can actually pay, and on what terms.
Monetizers — who funds against client instruments
The banks, funds and lenders we take client instruments to. We are only aggregators, so only proven monetizers should receive a client's instrument: one shows as proven only when every proof check is ticked — verified closings, references, KYC, regulatory status, a signed agreement and no upfront fees to clients.

How document storage works here
Two ways to attach a file when logging a document, side by side in the same form:
① Upload it directly — drag a file into the dropzone, or click to browse. It's stored privately in this app's own secure storage, not shared with anyone else — only your own account can see files you upload (the workspace owner can view, but not edit, everyone's files for oversight, the same as everywhere else in this platform). Files stay yours to open with a secure link any time from this register. Limit: 50MB per file.
② Or paste a link instead — Google Drive, SharePoint, or wherever the file already lives. Recommended if the file is large, or your team already keeps it in Drive — the storage this app provides is a shared pool across everyone using it, so linking to Drive for bigger files (or ones you're managing there anyway) keeps that headroom free for everyone. There's no size limit on a linked file, since Drive is holding it, not this app.
Either way, this register — name, linked deal, type, review status, notes — is the single place to track what's been received and verified. Uploading vs. linking only changes where the actual file bytes live.

Company Due Diligence — Sourcing Through Verification
Where to legitimately find gold trading counterparties, what's required to actually clear one for AML/CTF purposes, the real registries and authorities to check it against, and a place to track a lead from first contact through to a fully verified Buyer/Seller record.
How to use this page
This is a reference, not a substitute for judgement — registries and portals change, so treat every link below as a starting point and confirm current details directly with the authority when it matters. Nothing here is legal advice; for a genuinely high-value or high-risk deal, use this alongside a qualified AML/compliance professional, not instead of one.
1 · Where to find companies — before you verify them
Why there's no ready-made contact list here
This app doesn't ship with a list of "real traders' contact details" — and won't. An unverified list like that is exactly how gold-sector fraud usually starts: someone hands you a name and a phone number, claims they have product ready to move, and there's no way to independently confirm any of it. The Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange has publicly warned about entities falsely claiming affiliation with it for exactly this reason. Every name below is an official industry body, not an individual trader — the legitimate path is to search their member/company directories yourself, approach a company through its own official channel, and then run them through this app's existing Buyers & Sellers verification checklist before treating anything they say as fact.
Legitimate industry channels — Dubai

Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange (DGCX)
Regulated derivatives and physical gold exchange, a DMCC subsidiary, with 267 members including banks and gold traders. DGCX itself publicly warns that some entities falsely claim affiliation with it — confirm any claimed DGCX membership directly with the exchange, never via a third party's assurance.

UAE Good Delivery Standard for Gold
The UAE's national quality/traceability standard for gold traders and refiners, overseen by the Emirates Bullion Market Committee under the Ministry of Economy — DMCC itself is not the gold regulator. Worth checking whether a counterparty's product is expected to meet this standard for the specific transaction.
Legitimate industry channels — Hong Kong
Chinese Gold & Silver Exchange Society (CGSE)

Kaloti Precious Metals Group
Historically one of the largest and most recognisable names in Dubai gold, trading since the 1970s. Worth knowing before approaching: DMCC removed Kaloti's Sharjah refinery from the Dubai Good Delivery list in 2015 over compliance findings, and the group was the subject of a 2020 UK High Court whistleblower judgment concerning an audit dispute. The wider group continues to operate — this is exactly the kind of history your own KYC/DD checklist below is for, not a reason to skip it.

How to actually use this
Search the directories above for companies (not individuals) operating in gold. Contact them through their own official channel — the number/email listed by the exchange or registry itself, not one given to you by an intermediary. Log what you find below as a lead, and only create a full Buyer/Seller record — with the verification checklist this app already runs — once you've independently confirmed who you're actually dealing with.
Read this before sourcing from these regions
Gold sourced from artisanal/small-scale mining regions in Africa, and cross-border flows through parts of Southeast Asia and the Pacific, are exactly what FATF, the OECD and every major AML body treat as the highest-risk category in the entire gold trade — this is where most documented conflict-gold and trade-based money laundering cases originate. There is no responsible shortcut here: a company name found via search is not a verified counterparty, a country not being sanctioned is not the same as a specific company being clear, and export licensing regimes in this sector change often — Ghana replaced its entire gold-export licensing structure in April 2025 (the Ghana Gold Board, "GoldBod," is now the sole legal buyer/exporter of small-scale-mined gold; the previous PMMC licences for that segment were revoked) — proof that even a well-known authority can stop being the right answer overnight.
Current FATF status — checked live, as of the June 2026 plenary
Blacklist — "Call for Action" (highest risk; effectively cuts off formal banking)
Iran, North Korea, Myanmar.
Grey list — "Increased Monitoring" (22 jurisdictions; enhanced due diligence required, not sanctioned)
Includes, among others, Papua New Guinea (added February 2026) — worth knowing given it's on your list. Grey-list membership changes three times a year (Feb/June/Oct); recheck via DFAT/FATF directly before relying on this for a live decision, and always screen the specific company and its beneficial owners — not just the country — through this app's Compliance & Sanctions workflow.
FATF's own current list ↗The correct starting point, by region
For these regions, the responsible path is the country's own national mining/minerals licensing authority — confirmed directly, every time, not carried over from a previous deal or a general search. Below is what's actually verifiable right now, and the honest gap where it isn't.
Africa — Ghana (verified current, checked live)
As of April 2025, the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) is the sole legal buyer, seller, assayer and exporter of gold from Ghana's licensed artisanal/small-scale sector — a licensed buyer or aggregator must operate under GoldBod specifically. The Minerals Commission separately issues export licences for large-scale mining companies. Confirm any counterparty's current status directly with GoldBod, not from a past reference to PMMC.
goldbod.gov.gh ↗ · Minerals Commission ↗
goldbod.gov.gh ↗ · Minerals Commission ↗
Africa — other nations
South Africa, Tanzania, DRC, Zambia, Mali, Burkina Faso and others each have their own national minerals/mining ministry as the licensing authority — this app has not independently verified current licensing status or FATF/sanctions standing for these specifically at this time. Search "[country] ministry of mines gold export licence" as the starting point, and treat the DRC and any conflict-adjacent region as requiring full OECD-standard due diligence by default, not an exception.
Middle East — surrounding nations
Turkey has a genuine, large refining/trading sector (Istanbul Gold Exchange / Borsa İstanbul precious metals market) worth researching directly. Iran is FATF-blacklisted (see above) — not a sourcing option under any structure. For others, confirm current FATF and DFAT sanctions status per country before treating as viable — this list changes.
Southeast Asia & Pacific
Papua New Guinea has genuine large-scale gold mining (e.g. Porgera, Lihir) but is currently FATF grey-listed (above) — enhanced due diligence required, not disqualifying, but not a routine sourcing relationship either. The Philippines has real gold mining (Benguet and others) via its Mines and Geosciences Bureau. Malaysia and Thailand are established gold jewellery/refining and consumption markets more than primary source countries — treat "gold export licence" claims there with particular scrutiny. This app has not independently verified current licensing bodies for any of these at this time.
The full OECD Due Diligence Guidance and LBMA Responsible Gold Guidance — the actual methodology for sourcing from these regions — are covered in full in Section 5 below ("Gold-specific — the actual industry standard"), not repeated here.
2 · Company registration & licensing — confirm the entity is real
What you need
Certificate of incorporation, articles of association / memorandum, current trade licence, registered address, and confirmation the licence is currently active — not expired, suspended, or cancelled. A serious counterparty produces these without hesitation.
UAE / Dubai — full breakdown, since this is where most of your counterparties actually sit
Step 1 — Identify the jurisdiction
Every UAE company is licensed by exactly one authority, and that determines which registry you check. It's stated directly on the trade licence itself:
- Mainland — licensed by the Department of Economic Development (DED) of the relevant emirate. Can trade anywhere in the UAE, including directly with mainland companies.
- Free zone — licensed by that zone's own authority. DMCC is by far the most common structure among your current counterparties — "FZCO" in a company name is a DMCC entity type. Other zones you may encounter: JAFZA, DAFZA, DIFC, ADGM, RAKEZ, IFZA. Free zone companies generally can't trade directly onto the UAE mainland without a local agent/distributor — worth noting if a free zone counterparty claims mainland-wide trading rights.
Step 2 — Verify the licence itself
- National Economic Register (federal, covers all emirates and free zones) — the fastest single check when you don't yet know the issuing authority. Search by trade name or licence number; confirms status (active/expired/suspended/cancelled), legal form, and activity codes.
- If it's a DMCC entity: DMCC's own document verification portal ↗ — every DMCC-issued document carries a system-generated authentication code, so a scanned licence can be checked as genuine against DMCC's own records, not just assessed as plausible-looking.
- Other free zones each run their own verification portal — search "[zone name] verify company" for the current one.
- Mainland companies — verify via the relevant emirate's DED portal, or call directly. Dubai DED hotline: 600 545 555. Abu Dhabi TAMM: 800 555.
Step 3 — Cross-check the details that actually matter
- Legal name, exactly — matches character-for-character against your SPA/instrument. Near-identical names (an extra "Trading," a swapped word order) is a common fraud vector, banking on you not checking closely.
- Registered address — a specific tower/cluster/office number, not just "Dubai, UAE." DMCC addresses typically read like "Office [n], [Tower name], JLT." A licence with no verifiable physical address is a red flag on its own.
- Licensed activity — does the activity code actually cover what they claim to do? A "General Trading" licence doesn't automatically authorise precious metals trading specifically in every case — some activities need additional approval. Ask the counterparty to point out the specific line covering gold/precious metals.
- Authorised signatory — request the Establishment Card / Memorandum of Association showing who can legally bind the company, and cross-check against who's actually signing your documents. A signature from someone not on that list is meaningless.
Step 4 — If anything doesn't add up
Contact the issuing authority directly rather than accepting the counterparty's own explanation. For a licensed business with a real complaint, DET consumer protection can be reached via the Dubai Consumer app or 600 545 555. For suspected fraud, Dubai Police eCrime: ecrime.ae or 901.
Always pay by traceable bank transfer to a company account whose name matches the trade licence exactly. Cash, or transfers to a personal or third-party account, are a recurring feature of setup and trading scams in this market.
Origin-country registries — search below for the country you need
3 · Beneficial ownership — who actually controls the entity
Registration alone doesn't tell you who's really behind a company. Ask directly for beneficial ownership disclosure — anyone with 25%+ effective control, the standard AML threshold — and screen every named individual against sanctions lists separately from the company name. Sanctioned individuals routinely operate through clean shell entities; a clear company-name check means nothing if the person actually running it is listed under their own name. Nigeria's CAC now publishes a Persons with Significant Control register directly (launched 2023) — a genuinely useful public UBO source if a counterparty is Nigerian.
4 · Sanctions & AML/CTF screening — every deal, no exceptions
Screen the entity and every named individual against all of these — a clean result on one list means nothing if they're listed on another:
| List | Where | Notes |
| Australia — DFAT Consolidated List | dfat.gov.au ↗ | Free, downloadable. Australian Sanctions Office: sanctions@dfat.gov.au |
| US — OFAC SDN & Consolidated | ofac.treasury.gov ↗ | Free, no login. Worth checking even on non-US deals — USD payments and correspondent banking routinely touch US jurisdiction. Hotline: 202-622-2490 |
| UN Security Council Consolidated List | Search "UN Security Council Consolidated List" at un.org | Baseline every member state (including all your origin countries) is bound to implement |
| UK (OFSI) & EU consolidated lists | Search "OFSI financial sanctions list" / "EU consolidated sanctions list" | Worth checking if any instrument, bank, or counterparty touches those jurisdictions |
Reluctance from a counterparty to be screened, or to provide the identity details needed to screen them properly, is itself a signal.
5 · Gold-specific — the actual industry standard
LBMA Responsible Gold Guidance / OECD 5-Step Framework
This is the real baseline every LBMA-accredited refiner has to follow, and a genuinely useful checklist even when you're not a refiner. Built on the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas:
- Establish strong internal management systems and a supply chain due diligence policy
- Identify and assess risk in the supply chain — several of your origin countries border or sit near Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (CAHRAs); see the country notes below for specifics
- Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
- Independent third-party audit of supply chain due diligence
- Report annually on supply chain due diligence
Practically: ask any gold-source counterparty to show their chain of custody back to the mine or refinery. Where an LBMA Good Delivery refiner appears anywhere in that history, their own due diligence gives you real backing — not just their word. Full guidance: lbma.org.uk ↗
6 · Bank & instrument verification — confirm the instrument, not just the entity
Never accept a PDF alone for an SBLC, escrow, or bank instrument. Verify directly with the issuing bank's own trade finance / compliance desk, or via SWIFT RMA (Relationship Management Application) confirmation between your bank and theirs. A "bank officer" who only communicates via personal email or WhatsApp, rather than the bank's own verifiable channels, is the single most common tell in this exact type of fraud — matches several of the red-flag patterns the Document Analyzer already screens for.
7 · Embassies & trade commissions
Outbound (Australia helping verify a foreign counterparty): Austrade (Australian Trade and Investment Commission) has commercial officers in many relevant markets and can support Australian exporters/traders with market intelligence and, in some cases, direct verification.
Inbound (the foreign country's own presence in Australia): every country with diplomatic relations to Australia has an embassy or high commission in Canberra, most with a commercial section — sourced from each embassy's own official website, not a third party.
DFAT's own mission list (smartraveller.gov.au / dfat.gov.au) is the right first stop before trying to independently source a foreign government contact abroad.

Deliberately not listing specific embassy staff emails here — they change, and getting one wrong in a compliance context is worse than sending you to the source. Always pull the current contact from the embassy's own site at the time you need it.
What "cleared" actually looks like
Not a single document — a file showing: active registration, verified beneficial ownership, clean sanctions screening (all lists above, entity and individual level), and for anything gold-specific, a credible chain of custody. The tool below turns that into an actual report.
8 · Compile a formal DD report
How this works
Pick a deal — its counterparty, origin, route, and instrument pull in automatically from the deal record, and Jun Fortis's own KYC/CIS details (from the KYC/CIS tab) are included as the reporting entity. Work through the checklist below, ticking off what's actually been done and noting anything relevant. Progress saves automatically per deal, so you can leave and come back. When it's ready, generate a clean, printable report — save it as a PDF or print it for the file.
9 · Add contacts and promote them
Log anyone found via Section 1 (or anywhere else) here first. Real contact made moves them into Contacts automatically; a fully verified counterparty gets promoted into a proper Buyer/Seller record with this page's checklist behind it.

Verification checklists by instrument
Tailored, start-to-finish checklist for each trade-finance instrument used in fuel deals. Each is independent and persists as you work through it.
The verification hierarchy — where every checklist item sits
Six levels, low to high. A deal should not move from Instrument to Docs/POP until the instrument sits at V5 — not V1, not "the bank hasn't said no."
| V0 — Claimed | Someone told Jun Fortis the instrument exists. No evidential value. |
| V1 — Document received | PDF / screenshot / scan received. Still not bank verified. |
| V2 — Bank details confirmed | BIC, legal bank entity, and official contact independently confirmed. |
| V3 — Bank communication confirmed | Receiving/advising bank confirms an authenticated SWIFT message actually exists. |
| V4 — Terms verified | Legal/compliance review confirms issuer, beneficiary, amount, rules, expiry, and amendment history. |
| V5 — Operationally effective | Bank confirms the undertaking or payment is actually effective and usable on its stated terms. Only V5 clears the gate. |

Nodes 1–3 · Deal Identity, Parties, Enquiry
A deal enters the register the moment an enquiry is identified — before any commercial commitment. Record: raw intake title (preserved verbatim, never rewritten), TREVI code, buyer/seller mandates, product shorthand, trial and contract volumes kept separate, target price/currency/unit. Product shorthand (EN590, Jet A1, D6, VLSFO) is intake-level only — never treated as a complete specification until the exact contractual spec title/edition is recorded. Hard rule: no fees, no deposits, no banking action at this stage.
Node 4 · Route, Incoterm & Procedure
Raw route wording is preserved and its relationship (alternatives / load-discharge / multi-tranche / other) is explicitly resolved — never assumed. FOB requires an exact named loading port/terminal and Incoterms® version; it is never treated as a destination term. TTT/TTO/TTV are procedure selections, not proof of title, allocation, or storage — the exact written procedure, issuer, version, and date are recorded regardless.
Nodes 5–6 · Compliance, Authority & Commercial Milestones
KYC/KYB/UBO, mandate and signatory authority, sanctions/PEP/adverse-media screening, and the commercial document chain (ICPO → Seller SCO → SPA sent/signed → IMFPA sent/signed) are tracked independently, each with its own status — never a single checkbox. An empty item means "Not started," never "Verified" or "Not applicable" by default.
Node 7 · Finance & Product Evidence Gate
Whatever instrument is proposed (documentary credit, SBLC, telegraphic transfer, "Dip & Pay") is independently confirmed through the verification hierarchy (V0 → V5) before the deal is treated as funded. A SWIFT message type is never treated as a standalone instrument or as proof that funds, title, or product are genuine. Proof-of-product evidence (TSR, TSA, dip test, injection report) remains "received — unverified" until the actual issuer/terminal is independently contacted.
Node 8 · Execution
Terminal/tank acceptance, dip test, quantity/quality inspection, and payment are each tracked as separate, independently-verified events with their own dates and evidence — never collapsed into a single "done." Shore and vessel quantity figures are both retained; neither is silently discarded in favour of the other.
Nodes 9–10 · Deal Value, Economics & Governance
A deal is only marked "Closed — Delivered" once payment and delivery are both confirmed and reconciled. Failed transactions are never deleted — use the specific failure classification and record: reason, responsible failure point, financial/time cost, counterparty-score impact, and whether re-engagement is allowed. Outcomes are never re-labelled after the fact.
⚑ Automatic Compliance Hold — pause and escalate if any of these occur
- Beneficiary bank account changes late, or the seller's account is an unrelated company
- Mandate/broker chain includes an unresolved sanctions match
- Origin/refinery changes after the SPA is signed, or contract volume suddenly increases dramatically
- Route or Incoterm named place conflicts across documents
- Conflicting dip test / quality results, or altered PDF metadata
- Unexplained intermediary chain, or a paymaster inserted at the last minute
⚑ Automatic Instrument Hold
- An MT799 described as a guarantee, or offered as proof of funds
- A screenshot offered instead of direct bank confirmation
- The named bank refuses independent authentication
- An advance deposit or "unblocking fee" requested before instrument issuance
- "Dip & Pay" or any payment structure claimed operative without terminal/bank confirmation of the actual process
⚑ Automatic Logistics Hold
- TSR/TSA unverifiable via the terminal's own official channel
- Vessel AIS gap with no documented explanation
- Product substituted after dip test, or seals broken
- Quantity mismatch between shore and vessel figures beyond agreed tolerance, with no reconciliation on file
- Destination terminal refuses intake

Fuel Market Outlook
Reference benchmark levels for context only — never a live, licensed feed, and never a substitute for the actual quotation window/differential recorded on a specific deal. Fictional demo values.
How to read this page
Nothing on this page is a live or licensed market feed (Platts/Argus/ICE etc. require their own licensed entitlement, not reproduced here). Use it for general context only — a specific deal's pricing always comes from that deal's own recorded benchmark, provider, quotation window, and differential, on its Pricing & Economics section.
Fuel-relevant reference notes
Diesel/gasoil is typically referenced against ICE Gasoil futures or a regional Platts/Argus assessment (e.g. FOB ARA, FOB Singapore); jet fuel against Platts Jet CIF NWE or FOB Singapore; VLSFO/MGO against regional bunker assessments (e.g. Fujairah, Singapore, Rotterdam). Always record the exact provider, assessment name, location, and quotation window on the deal itself — a bare "market price" is not sufficient for a benchmark-priced transaction.
