When commissioning a production to a service producer, your own corporate policies, regulatory obligations and the tax incentives financing the project all depend on procurement having been done correctly — at market rates, without favouritism, with documented evidence.
Until now, verifying this meant waiting for manual reports that arrived late or not at all. Visualnet gives you direct access, in real time, without depending on the producer for information.
Without Visualnet
You depend on manual reports from the producer. No real-time visibility. In an inspection or audit, reconstructing the documentation takes weeks.
With Visualnet
Read-only portal with real-time access to the procurement process of each production. All documentation available with no extra effort from the producer.
Monitor the procurement process of each production in real time without interfering with the team's management. Access to benchmarks, received bids and awards as they happen.
Each request for proposals generates a sealed, immutable market benchmark at closing. Market price evidence valid before AEAT (Spain), HMRC (United Kingdom) and IRS (United States).
Chained history with cryptographic verification (SHA-256). Impossible to alter the record without leaving a mathematical trace. Exportable as PDF and CSV for investment committees, boards of directors and external audits.
Negotiable framework agreement with SLA and co-branding. Compatible with reporting to investment committees and boards. ESG and sustainability criteria configurable per project.
When an international studio commissions a Spanish service producer, the production expenditure is scrutinised by up to three different jurisdictions simultaneously. Each demands the same: objective, independent evidence that services were contracted at real market rates.
The AEAT launches an inspection of the Spanish service producer
Out-of-market prices or inconsistencies in expenses declared under Art. 36.2 LIS.
The producer comes under fiscal and criminal investigation
Organic Law 1/2015 — corporate criminal liability and personal liability for directors.
The international studio is identified as the beneficiary of the questioned expenditure
Regulators in its home country are notified or open their own investigation into the same facts.
IRS, DOJ/SEC or SFO review the studio's accounting records
IRC §482, FCPA and UK Bribery Act. The studio must demonstrate its internal controls were adequate.
With Visualnet: the studio presents the history and sealed benchmarks
Objective, independent evidence that each service was contracted at real market rates, with full traceability from request to award.
