Integrity investigations

Description

Would you like to work with new contractors or customers or do you have problems with existing business partners? Current global trading and free capital flow among countries enable companies to quickly and flexibly react to market stimuli. However, this positive development also has its drawbacks. In a very short period of time, seemingly stable and prosperous companies can substantially alter their ownership structure and lose their good financial standing or key employees. Obtaining, analyzing and correctly assessing the importance of information on business partners  is one of the most crucial undertakings in corporate governance.

  • Screening of reputation, political affiliation and background
  • Screening of the business partner’s financial status and creditworthiness
  • Checking whether the entity might be a front and whether the company genuinely conducts business
• Screening of the relationships and business links among the key individuals of the business partner and other firms to uncover irregular and undisclosed relations.
• Screening bidders:
  
  • Obtaining general, media, financial and business information on bidders
  • Uncovering any undisclosed links among bidders and identifying related entities
  • Checking for potential conflicts of interest or undisclosed links between the client’s employees and bidders
