In this case, we also need a copy of your passport. To send us a copy of your passport securely, please contact us at kyc@hillaudit.fi and we can provide you a secure way to send the copy.
Why did I receive several questionnaires?
Our company is responsible for managing customer-specific risks. Therefore, the information request is also customer-specific, as the operations of each company or organization are unique, and the same identification details do not apply to every client company represented by the representative.
