Background & Due Dilligence Checks

Background and Due Diligence

The foundation of a due diligence* investigation is to prevent any type of bad will, sabotage, insider trading to name a only few possibilities, against  you or your business entity. A Due Diligence investigation provides our customer with a complete history of a subject’s background, whether it is an individual or business. Information in different areas such as assets, financial data, criminal record, civil lawsuits and involvement in other entities are gathered, reviewed an analyzed.

1. Initial due diligence – this is the very first step in evaluating what risk is involved in doing business with an entity prior or to establishing a relationship and assesses risk at that point in time.
2. Ongoing due diligence – this is the process of periodically evaluating each relationship for illicit activities linked to corruption or other criminal activities. This process will be performed indefinitely as long as a relationship exists, and also involves comparing the companies and executives to a database of local and foreign officials. This process should be performed on all relationships regardless of location and is often part of a wider Integrity Management initiative.
