Foreign Exchange Regime and International Compliance

Foreign exchange specialists: consulting and outsourcing in the Colombian foreign exchange regime

We support companies with international operations that need foreign exchange lawyers in Colombia, foreign exchange consulting, foreign exchange outsourcing, compensation-account review, reporting to the Banco de la República, foreign exchange exogenous information and defense against DIAN information requests.

OUR SERVICES

Foreign exchange compliance with legal judgment and operational vision

Colombia’s foreign exchange regime requires companies to properly document, channel, report and support their foreign-currency operations. Imports, exports, payments for services abroad, international investments, external debt, compensation accounts, operations with non-residents and transactions between related parties can create specific obligations before the Banco de la República, the DIAN and other authorities.
At Hub Legal we help manage those obligations with order, traceability and technical judgment. Our support combines foreign exchange legal advisory, document review, operational analysis, foreign exchange report audits, response to DIAN information requests, foreign exchange defense and the design of internal controls for treasury, accounting, foreign trade, tax and compliance teams.

From the transaction to the supporting documentation, and from the documentation to the defense

Our work is not limited to reviewing regulations. We analyze how the operation occurred, what documents support it, how it was recorded internally, what was reported to authorities and what risks may arise if the information doesn’t match.

This methodology helps anticipate contingencies, correct inconsistencies and build solid responses when a company must address information requests from the DIAN, the Banco de la República or another authority.

THE COMPANY RECEIVED A DIAN REQUIREMENT FOR FOREIGN EXCHANGE INCONSISTENCIES:

We review the information, identify the cause of the inconsistency, organize supporting documents and prepare the response.

THERE ARE DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN REPORTS, TAX RETURNS AND BANK MOVEMENTS:

We reconcile information, validate supporting documents and define corrective actions.

THERE ARE EXTERNAL DEBT OR INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS:

We review registrations, updates, payments, capitalizations and documentary compliance.

THE INTERNAL TEAM NEEDS TRAINING:

We design practical sessions or refer the team to Hub Academy’s Diploma in Foreign Exchange Regime.
