Engagement terms

Services provided by BlackCores & Partners are subject to separate written engagement terms agreed with clients. Website content does not form part of any engagement terms or create any client relationship. All engagements are confirmed in writing with agreed scope, timeline and deliverables before work begins.

No guarantees

BlackCores & Partners does not guarantee any particular:

• Regulatory outcome or regulatory approval
• Audit result or audit opinion
• Compliance status or certification
• Bank, insurer or counterparty acceptance
• Screening result or third-party data accuracy
• Prevention of loss, fraud or regulatory breach

Services are designed to support firms in reviewing and strengthening their control environments, but outcomes depend on many factors beyond our control including the firm's own actions, decisions and implementation.

Independence and conflicts

Where engagements require independence (such as audit-style reviews), BlackCores & Partners will assess conflicts of interest and independence considerations before accepting the engagement. Clients should raise any concerns about independence at the scoping stage.

Third-party tools and data

Where our services involve reviewing outputs from third-party screening tools, databases or data sources, BlackCores & Partners does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or currency of that third-party data. Clients remain responsible for their own vendor due diligence and data-quality assurance.
