DUE DILIGENCE REPORTS

Effective risk management starts with knowing who you’re dealing with. This is particularly important in emerging and frontier markets. It is imperative that organisations understand fully the background of their international clients, business partners, distributors, agents and consultants – in fact anyone with whom they are doing business – before committing to an offshore deal, business association or foreign investment.

IntegraScreen reports are a vital tool for international financial institutions and multinational corporations to ensure compliance with Anti Money Laundering (AML) regulations and legislation with trans-national reach. The USA PATRIOT Act and anti-corruption legislation such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) contain specific customer due diligence requirements, especially within the context of emerging markets and offshore locations. Our Due Diligence Reports provide comprehensive background risk assessments of prospective and existing clients, M&A targets, IPO candidates, business partners and agents, and are designed to help mitigate international business, legal and reputational risks.

World-Check provides discreet due diligence reports for all markets, whether they be developed or emerging. With dedicated research centres located across five continents and the largest research team in the industry, World-Check monitors emerging risks in more than 50 languages, covering over 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Compliance with ever increasing privacy laws and regulation is at the heart of what we do and, with this in mind, we have a strict policy that only publicly available records are accessed and used in the course of our research. However, this does not mean that we only use digitised information. Most public records held outside of the developed economies are not in an electronic format and will be filed on paper in the local language.

We know where to look for the most comprehensive information in emerging markets, as in such areas, ‘publicly accessible’ never equates to ‘easily accessible’. Our global reach, local expertise and round-the-clock research capabilities ensure accurate, comprehensive and consistent reporting delivered within exceptional turnaround times. Trusted by more than 4 500 clients worldwide, our due diligence reports offer quality bespoke reporting on demand.

IntegraScreen reports provide a comprehensive risk management tool when:

Conducting pre-merger and acquisition inquiries and pre-IPO due diligence
Entering into new international joint ventures
Taking on a new banking or financial client
Engaging overseas business partners
Following regulatory compliance and corporate governance best practice.
Used as an integral part of a consistent and auditable AML and anti-corruption compliance programme.

In the competitive global marketplace, most companies are searching for new opportunities in emerging markets. Such locations present fresh challenges – corruption, weak rule of law leading to unenforceable contracts, organised crime, terrorist financing and money laundering are common threats that have to be identified, assessed and mitigated.

IntegraScreen reports assist customers in navigating risk in unfamiliar markets and assessing the background and character of those with whom they do business with. Moreover, these reports help organisations to remain compliant with national and international regulation and standards of business ethics and behaviour. Used as part of a comprehensive risk management programme, our due diligence reports provide detailed risk insight to reduce business, legal and reputational risks.
