Compliance

Built for a regulated subcontracting environment.

ASM treats regulatory awareness, documentation, local content, supplier diligence and ethical conduct as operating controls — not marketing language.

The ARSP is the Government's technical body for regulating private-sector subcontracting in the DRC. Its official portal publishes registration information, regulatory texts, decisions and compliance-related communications.

ASM does not claim to be ARSP, nor does this page constitute legal advice. Clients and suppliers should verify current obligations and eligibility directly against official ARSP publications and applicable law.

What ASM builds into the workflow

  • Supplier documentation and corporate information checks.
  • Contract and purchase documentation traceability.
  • Local-content and eligibility considerations where applicable.
  • Conflict-of-interest and anti-bribery controls.
  • Clear escalation when a requirement may require legal or regulatory review.

Local content

As of September 2026, official ARSP publications refer to Law No. 17/001 of 8 February 2017 as amended by Law No. 26/017 of 30 June 2026. The current framework includes eligibility requirements for subcontractors and provides for exceptions in defined circumstances. ASM therefore treats supplier eligibility and supporting documentation as procurement controls, while directing legal questions to the official texts and qualified counsel.

Ethics & responsible business

We maintain a zero-tolerance approach to bribery, fraudulent documentation, undisclosed conflicts and deliberate misrepresentation of supplier or corporate status.

Regulatory watch

Rules evolve. Our compliance page should never be treated as the final legal source.

This page is reviewed against official ARSP publications and should not be treated as a substitute for the current law, an ARSP decision or legal advice.
