Increased legislation and regulation, reputational pressures and scrutiny from regulators and law enforcement bodies have meant that companies, which rely on a network of third parties for the success of their business may face the daunting prospect of conducting an appropriate level of background checking of their third parties.
We have extensive experience in helping clients identify and mitigate the potential bribery and corruption risks related to third parties – as well as other operational and reputational issues – through the gathering of independent information (“background checking”, Integrity due diligence, or IDD). We work with our clients to design the most appropriate, efficient, and cost-effective solution, offering a flexible methodology. The various risk-focused tiers of our IDD solution include the use of automated public record screening and monitoring tools, researcher-led information gathering and in-depth consultation with human sources in the relevant industry.
