KYC Consulting and Freee API Integration

KYC Consulting Co., Ltd., known for its robust compliance solutions, has embarked on a significant collaboration with Freee Co., Ltd. This integration allows users of Freee's accounting and sales platforms to utilize the RiskAnalyze anti-social force check tool through a seamless API connection. This development aims to bolster the risk management frameworks for Freee users by facilitating an automatic and streamlined process for conducting thorough checks on business partners and suppliers.

Background and Objectives

In recent years, the involvement of business partners with anti-social forces and compliance risks has emerged as a pressing issue that companies must address. Implementing anti-social checks is essential across various sectors, including preparing for IPOs, vetting by financial institutions, and managing supply chains. Under its mission of empowering small businesses worldwide, Freee has transformed back-office operations like accounting and payroll into cloud-based and automated processes, supporting around 600,000 users. Conversely, KYC's RiskAnalyze tool leverages a comprehensive database that scans for domestic and international risks, compiling a report in as little as 0.4 seconds, making it an invaluable resource for multiple enterprises.

The recent API integration between KYC and Freee effectively bridges daily operational tasks with essential risk checks. Businesses can now conduct anti-social checks automatically at critical junctures, like prior to initiating a transaction or during supplier registration. This advancement aims to alleviate challenges such as reliance on individual judgment, switching between tools, and the complexities associated with record-keeping.

Service Overview

Key Features of the Integration

• - Master Partner Coordination: Users can automatically relay the names of business partners and their representatives registered within Freee’s accounting and sales environments, enabling a one-click execution of anti-social checks within the application.
• - Automatic Recording and Sharing of Results: The outcomes of the checks are automatically stored in the application, which aligns the execution results with the escalation flow of the legal and compliance departments.
• - Periodic Screening Functionality: The application can conduct bulk checks. A reminder banner will pop up for partners that have not been checked in over a year since the last check.

Expected Benefits

• - Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Back-office personnel can conduct anti-social checks within Freee’s systems, massively reducing implementation and operational workload.
• - Risk Mitigation: The ability to perform checks based on system trigger points before transactions or payments reduces the likelihood of human error and personal judgment risks.

Remarks from Leadership

Nobumasa Hanai, President of KYC Consulting, commented, "RiskAnalyze has predominantly served financial institutions and IPO-preparing companies. However, our partnership with Freee opens avenues to promote anti-social and compliance checks in the small business sector and everyday transactions. I believe this integration is a significant step towards establishing a world-class KYC social infrastructure."
