Key Compliance and Commercial Risks of Poor Project Set-up

Bypassing internal policies and approvals undermines our controls and exposes AlphaSights to regulatory or procedural breaches. Commercially, it can damage client relationships and weaken trust in our professionalism. Sensitive coverage around clients’ portfolio companies can also create serious issues. Portraying clients or their portfolio companies in a way that threatens their market reputation or business activities -such as suggesting difficulty raising funds or selling assets -can harm both the client and AlphaSights’ brand in the market.

Once a project is set up, it is vital that MT titles and agendas remain neutral and balanced. Neutrality prevents bias, speculation, or language that could imply insider knowledge or criticism. Maintaining neutral MT titles and agendas protects AlphaSights’ reputation, client trust, and commercial integrity. It helps avoid client escalations and ensures all communications reflect fairness, professionalism, and compliance with internal standards.
