SIGA partners with APC Compliance to deliver Sport Integrity solutions
The strategic business partnership will help enhance governance, integrity and capability within Sport Organisations and Governments worldwide.
SIGA (the Sport Integrity Global Alliance) has announced it has joined forces with APC Compliance to accelerate the implementation of its global reform agenda and deliver Sport Integrity solutions.
This strategic business partnership will further expand and diversify SIGA SOLUTIONS portfolio of services to Sport Organizations and Governments worldwide, and will significantly contribute to enhancing their governance, integrity and capability.
As a proud official media partner at the recent Summit on Female Leadership in Sport, AS fully supports SIGA in its mission to enhance integrity in sport in a number of different forms.
SIGA and APC Compliance’s services
SIGA SOLUTIONS, SIGA’s new commercial arm, and APC Compliance will work in close cooperation to deliver a suite of services designed to assist Sport Organizations and Governments to achieve the highest standards of integrity and good governance. The services will support Organizations in their journey towards obtaining the SIGA Independent Rating and Verification System (SIRVS) Certification.
The range of services now available includes:
- Providing strategic advice to Sport Organizations, Governments and Global Business, including Sponsors, Broadcasters and other relevant Commercial Entities, on all matters related to Sport Integrity;
- Providing Training, Education and Capacity Building related with the implementation of the SIGA Universal Standards and SIRVS Certification;
- Developing Legislative and Regulatory Frameworks;
- Conducting in-depth specialized studies and research on critical Governance and Financial Integrity issues; and
- Developing standardized toolkits for financial integrity and good governance in Sport, tailored to Sports Organizations seeking SIRVS Certification.
Emanuel Macedo de Medeiros, SIGA’s co-founder and Global CEO, has highlighted the significance of the newly established partnership, stating:
“This partnership is a key milestone in our efforts to enhancing the way Sport is governed and operates. It extends the reach and implementation of SIGA’s Universal Standards on Sport Integrity by providing vital strategic advice, tailored training, education and capacity building programmes and on-the-ground practical support, ensuring that organizations not only adhere to best practice but excel at them, thus promoting a culture of integrity and excellence in every facet of Sport.
“By combining the expertise of SIGA and SIGA SOLUTIONS with that of APC Compliance, we are adding value to sports organizations and governments that need support to achieve full compliance with the best practices, but lack the real knowledge, expertise and internal resources to do so. It is, therefore, with great enthusiasm and forward-looking perspective that we embark on this game-changing partnership at a crucial time for the industry’s future.”
Lazaros Ioannou, Director of APC Compliance, also commented on the partnership:
“We are thrilled that APC Compliance and SIGA have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at bolstering good governance and financial integrity within sports organizations. This collaboration will focus on a multifaceted approach to ensure the highest standards of integrity in the sports industry. Our joint efforts will assist sports organizations in achieving the prestigious SIRVS Certification, providing them with the necessary tools and knowledge to excel in governance and financial management.
“Together, APC Compliance and SIGA are dedicated to fostering an environment of excellence in governance and financial management within the world of Sport. This partnership marks a significant step forward in our shared mission to enhance the transparency, accountability, and integrity of sports organizations globally. We look forward to making a positive and lasting impact on the sports industry through our collaborative efforts.”
