Vendor Due Diligence
Our service relies on open-source, desktop searches and field research to identify potential red flags in vendor relationships. This process can be implemented as part of periodic monitoring to assess whether current and future vendors comply with applicable international and national laws and regulations. Efficient large-scale vendor screening is seamlessly managed through our proprietary platform Know Your Vendor™. Our experts conduct comprehensive checks, including:
- Beneficial ownership search through corporate records
- Open-source inquiries, including digital and physical media inquiries
- Global sanctions checks, a series of database searches to verify if an individual appears on international sanctions lists for criminal activities
- PEP checks
- On-site field visits
Reputational Due Diligence
This is the most popular category within our due diligence services, as it combines open-source and desktop searches with thorough inquiries to identify potential red flags, assess the reputation, and evaluate the track record of both the company and its principals. The activities involve performing both office tasks and field assignments:
- Beneficial ownership search through corporate records
- Open-source inquiries, including digital and physical media inquiries
- Global sanctions and PEP checks
- On-site field visits
- Reputation checks with clients and suppliers
- Source inquiries
- An executive summary presenting contextual insights and a risk analysis
