Enhanced Due Diligence for Insurers

As an insurance company, you face the challenge of not only recognizing the obvious but also identifying hidden risks and uncovering potential vulnerabilities. We conduct classic financial and risk analyses for you, but we go beyond that:

    • Risk Profiles: Analyzing companies, individuals, and their networks to capture potential risks arising from political or economic entanglements.
    • Compliance Checks: In-depth reviews of compliance requirements (e.g., anti-money laundering, sanctions) to help you avoid regulatory pitfalls.
    • Background Research: We discreetly investigate information about business partners or clients that goes far beyond public records to ensure complete transparency.

Comprehensive Due Diligence for Banks

The financial world today faces a multitude of challenges, from geopolitical uncertainties to opaque asset structures. Our due diligence services for banks delve deeper than standardized creditworthiness or company evaluations:

    • Global Asset Analysis: We uncover hidden assets and complex financial structures to ensure that you base your loans or investments on informed information.
    • Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs): Our analyses identify political or social connections that may pose a reputational risk for your bank.
    • Cross-references in Offshore Jurisdictions: We investigate whether a company or individual operates in high-risk countries and the potential impact this may have on your financial decisions.

Due Diligence for NGOs – Acting Responsibly with Comprehensive Knowledge

As an NGO, you often operate in difficult and complex political or social environments. In-depth due diligence is crucial to ensure that your partners and projects align with your mission and ethical principles:

    • Partner Analyses: We examine potential partner organizations, their leaders, and funders to ensure you collaborate with responsible and transparent actors.
    • Risk Assessment in Crisis Areas: Our team gathers relevant data from inaccessible or dangerous regions, allowing you to rely on trustworthy information for your humanitarian efforts.
    • Reputation Checks: We investigate potential risks to your reputation that may arise from collaborating with certain actors or operating in specific regions.

In-Depth Research for Investigative Journalism

Journalistic work requires the ability to dig deeper and uncover information that is often well-hidden or difficult to access. Our specialized research services support journalists in exposing corruption, fraud, and abuse of power:

    • Discreet Information Gathering: We leverage a network of international sources to bring hidden information to light that goes far beyond publicly accessible databases.
    • Forensic Data Analysis: By employing cutting-edge technology, we identify financial irregularities or opaque corporate structures that could be part of a larger scandal or covert operation.
    • Thorough Documentation: Our research is based on credible, known sources to provide you with the foundation for compelling journalistic reporting.

Background Checks as Part of Due Diligence

In the context of enhanced due diligence, especially when examining companies or projects, the investigation of involved individuals is a central component. This includes both executives and key personnel in sensitive positions. Typical aspects include:

    • Connections to Political or Criminal Networks: Are there indications of connections to politically exposed persons (PEPs) or known criminal networks?
    • Financial Integrity: Personal financial situations of key individuals to identify potential conflicts of interest or corruption risks.
    • Past Legal Issues: Checks for past or ongoing litigation that could impact the credibility or risk for the company or organization.
    • Reputation: Examination of public perception and career history, including media reports, social media, and industry opinions.
