Enhanced due diligence is relevant where a person, company, transaction, appointment or relationship presents higher financial, reputational, jurisdictional or operational risk.
What the work may cover
- Identity, ownership and control
- Director and connected-company history
- Trading claims and operational footprint
- Adverse media and reputation indicators
- Insolvency, litigation and enforcement context
- Jurisdictional and source limitations
What a useful output should deliver
- An executive summary of material issues
- Source-led findings and relationship mapping
- A distinction between facts, indicators and inferences
- Unresolved questions and proportionate next steps
Proportionate scope: A warning sign is not proof of wrongdoing. Research should be lawful, necessary, relevant to the decision and properly caveated.
